The LEED-NC "Green Building" Rating System and Energy Efficiency in U.S. Commercial Buildings
By David M.Hart
Momentum is building for the build-out of smart grid infrastructure. Properly designed, the smart grid can provide consumers with information, pricing options, and automated support to make energy use more precisely responsive to consumer interests in saving money, maximizing comfort and convenience, and reducing carbon emissions. Architectural and design choices made today will have long-term significance for innovation in the customer premise space, while also raising new questions about the innovation ecosystems that will emerge. The purpose of this project is to explore the technical, business and institutional aspects of these innovation ecosystems.
