• The integration maximizes the efficiency of downloading past building load data directly from the utility, which gives engineers a more accurate view of past usage and peak requirements of their project.
• The more exact the interval load data, the more precise the model, as the number of assumptions made during the optimization can be greatly reduced.
• The integration reduces engineering hours through programmatically loading data, ensuring that the solution will be more tailored to the needs of the building.
The Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity has financially supported Idaho National Laboratory for launching a new Net-Zero Microgrid (NZM) program.
