Experimental Evaluation of a Fast Demand Response System for Small/Medium-Scale Office Buildings

Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, We have acknowledged the need for demand response. Therefore, we developed a system of experimental evaluation of fast demand response (fast DR) for small-scale buildings. Using this system, we confirmed that it is possible to achieve more than 10% reduction in energy consumption by controlling the air conditioning. In this paper, we describe outline of the fast DR system and discuss the result of evaluation.
