DESCRIPTION:Quantification of peak demand reduction potential of buildings 
 is critical for demand response (DR) analysis in a microgrid environment. 
 Due to the varying nature of electricity consumption throughout the day ov
 er different seasons\, DR periods affect the energy savings and peak deman
 d reduction potentials of a building in different ways. This paper investi
 gates peak reduction potential of selected commercial buildings within a m
 icrogrid environment through the control of heating\, ventilation\, and ai
 r conditioning (HVAC) set point and lighting brightness adjustment. Buildi
 ng models are simulated in EnergyPlus and validated against monthly\, dail
 y and 30-minute building electrical consumption with the actual consumptio
 n from the smart meter data. The study is conducted over two different DR 
 periods for a winter and a summer week to understand how time of the day a
 nd different weather conditions influence building peak demand. Results sh
 ow that with the proper choice of the DR period along with the HVAC set po
 int and the lighting brightness adjustments\, significant hourly peak dema
 nd reduction can be achieved for different types of commercial buildings.\

 tential of buildings is critical for demand response (DR) analysis in a mi
 crogrid environment. Due to the varying nature of electricity consumption 
 throughout the day over different seasons\, DR periods affect the energy s
 avings and peak demand reduction potentials of a building in different way
 s. This paper investigates peak reduction potential of selected commercial
  buildings within a microgrid environment through the control of heating\,
  ventilation\, and air conditioning (HVAC) set point and lighting brightne
 ss adjustment. Building models are simulated in EnergyPlus and validated a
 gainst monthly\, daily and 30-minute building electrical consumption with 
 the actual consumption from the smart meter data. The study is conducted o
 ver two different DR periods for a winter and a summer week to understand 
 how time of the day and different weather conditions influence building pe
 ak demand. Results show that with the proper choice of the DR period along
  with the HVAC set point and the lighting brightness adjustments\, signifi
 cant hourly peak demand reduction can be achieved for different types of c
 ommercial buildings.</p>
