Energy-Efficiency(EE)......Conservation of energy used for your operation.
Distributed Generation(DG)......On-site renewable energy, i.e. photovoltaic
systems or stationary fuel cells with performance warranties of 25 years.
EE+DG=Integrated Demand-Side Management (IDSM)
• The "Mountaintop BEST" is Zero Net Energy for your building.
• First conserve through Optimization to robustly reduce demand.
• Then find that economically smart way to get to self-generation.
• ZNE! The BEST. No HIGHER METHOD of EFFICIENCY. Optimization.
• OFF SITE POWER... LESS AND LESS
• ON SITE POWER... MORE AND MORE
• STRIKE BALANCE BETWEEN THE 2!
