This report documents the results of a program to develop and demonstrate automated control strategies for commercial building ventilation systems in response to real-time pricing (RTP) of electricity. The potential for electric load shedding/shifting of building ventilation systems in response to real-time pricing can be significant. This strategy provides a cost reduction opportunity for commercial building customers as well as a load reduction opportunity for their electric utilities. This project delivered an integrated sensor/control system for RTP that has the capability to make building ventilation systems more energy efficient while maintaining prescribed levels of indoor air quality. Under this utility- and government-sponsored research and development program, Honeywell has implemented new strategies to provide demand-controlled operation of outdoor air ventilation equipment. These strategies are designed for application to typical commercial building air handling systems in response to real-time pricing of electricity. Honeywell has integrated RTP control strategies with a prototype sensor system that measures indoor air carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}) and volatile organic compound (VOC) levels to ensure that prescribed levels of indoor air quality are maintained in the occupied spaces. Under this program, Honeywell has added this demand-controlled ventilation capability to the existing Automated RTP Load Control technology to enable shedding and/or shifting of the electric load from ventilation equipment. This RTP control strategy involves reducing ventilation levels (typical durations might be from 1 to 3 hours) during high RTP periods.
