89: Making smart buildings a reality, with Jessica Granderson First Fuel

A guest of the EEC at 2023's National Energy Efficiency Conference, Dr Jessica Granderson
directs the Building Technology and Urban Systems Division at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory, and is one of the world’s foremost experts on building
efficiency and energy management.



In this episode, Luke and Jessica explore the ins and outs of smart buildings, discussing
how software can be used as an overlay to traditional building technology;
how governments can advance policies that incentivise the market; how building
users interact with flexible loads; and most importantly, how all this smart
building potential can be turned into reality.


What’s apparent is just how much can be achieved using
existing technology and systems, which will be able to interact with future
technology. But as exciting as coming innovations may be: we don't need to wait.
