Option 2. Demand Response Program (1 point)

Enroll in a minimum one-year demand response (DR) contract with a qualified DR program provider, with the intention of multiyear renewal.

On-site electricity generation and fuel combustion cannot be used to meet the demand-side management criteria.

AND/OR

Option 3. Automated Demand-side Management (1 point)

On-site electricity generation and fuel combustion cannot be used to meet the demand-side management criteria.

PATH 1. SYSTEM-LEVEL CONTROLS (1 POINT)

Provide automated demand response controls for at least two of the following systems installed within the project scope of work:

  • HVAC systems (50% of rated capacity)

  • Lighting systems (50% of power)

  • Automatic receptacle controls

  • Service water heating (90% of capacity)

  • Electric vehicle supply equipment

OR

PATH 2. BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM (1 POINT)

Develop a plan for shedding at least 10% of the project’s peak electricity demand for a minimum of one hour. The plan must address both winter and summer peaks considering electrified grid projections.
