Join us to learn more about the opportunities and benefits for connected communities, based on recently released research from the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Rocky Mountain Institute. Connected communities are collections of buildings and distributed energy resources that integrate energy management strategies at the multibuilding scale. These communities are designed to share energy resources among buildings and provide services back to the grid. The team will share findings about the value and technology opportunities, gained through an inventory of existing and emerging connected communities.
