This research explores the technical energy savings potential of demand flexibility.

The study assesses the current state of demand flexibility technologies in the building stock and determines the potential savings (in terms of energy, demand, emissions, and costs) that can be achieved through these technologies. The savings are scaled to understand the maximum technical potential across the entire New Jersey commercial building stock. The outcome of this project may help inform the planning of demand response programs.
