Table 1. Peak storage capacity relative to peak demand
| Storage | 1 Point | 2 Points |
|---|---|---|
| Electric Storage Capacity Relative to peak electric demand | 0.2 kWh/kW | 0.4 kWh/kW |
| Thermal Storage Capacity Relative to peak coincident thermal demand (heating + cooling + service water heating + process heat) | 1.0 kWh/kW or Btu/Btu/hr or ton-hrs/ton | 2.0 kWh/kW or Btu/Btu/hr or ton-hrs/ton |
AND/OR
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.
