The study is conducted over two different DR periods for a winter and a summer week to understand how time of the day and different weather conditions influen ce building peak demand. Results show that with the proper choice of the D R period along with the HVAC set point and the lighting brightness adjustm ents\, significant hourly peak demand reduction can be achieved for differ ent types of commercial buildings.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee. org/m/280563 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280563 ORGANIZER:pesvancouver.kenny@gmail.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Quantification of Peak Demand Reduction Potential in Commercial Bui ldings URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280563 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>IEEE Power &amp\; Energy Society Vancouver Chapter is pleased to announce a technical webinar on "Quantification of Peak Demand Reduction Potential in Commercial Buildings" by Professor Dr. Saifur Rahman.

Due to the varying nature of electricity consumption throughout the day o ver different seasons\, DR periods affect the energy savings and peak dema nd reduction potentials of a building in different ways. This paper invest igates peak reduction potential of selected commercial buildings within a microgrid environment through the control of heating\, ventilation\, and a ir conditioning (HVAC) set point and lighting brightness adjustment. Build ing models are simulated in EnergyPlus and validated against monthly\, dai ly and 30-minute building electrical consumption with the actual consumpti on 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 and different weather conditions influence building peak demand. Results s how that with the proper choice of the DR period along with the HVAC set p oint and the lighting brightness adjustments\, significant hourly peak dem and reduction can be achieved for different types of commercial buildings. </span></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p> END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
