Abstract

Purpose of Review

Electric grids face significant challenges with peak and variable demand and greenhouse gas emissions. As new technologies develop, they are used to modernize grids through improved monitoring and management of building electricity use. In this review, a range of technologies are discussed, including the state of their implementation and their current and future potential influence on building electricity contributions.

Recent Findings

Recent literature has focused on the use of these devices individually for modeling building performance, influencing occupant behavioral energy efficiency, and model predictive control for more dynamically operated buildings.

Summary

The results suggest that while smart meters are the most common device, other grid-connected technologies have the potential to further improve monitoring and management of the grid. However, there still remains significant gaps in the literature that require further study to take full advantage of the diversity of connected technologies to achieve a more energy-efficient built environment that can more dynamically consume electricity.
