ComStock Measure Documentation: Lighting Control for Load Shedding

Summary

This report addresses the challenge of managing peak electricity demand in commercial buildings to improve grid efficiency and reduce costs. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has modeled a lighting control strategy for load shedding, demonstrating that dimming lights by 30% during 4-hour peak windows can significantly reduce peak demand. The modeling projects national annual electricity savings of 0.88% and utility bill savings of 1 million USD across the U.S. commercial building stock.
