ComStock Measure Documentation: Thermostat and Lighting Control for Load Shedding

Summary

This report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory addresses the challenge of reducing electricity peak demand in commercial buildings across the United States. It documents an approach using integrated thermostat and lighting controls to shed load by adjusting temperature set points by ±2°C and dimming lights by 30% during peak demand events. The modeling work is completed, showing projected electricity savings of 1.77% and significant peak load reductions, offering valuable insights for energy efficiency and grid stability.
