How can cleantech customers and consumers be engaged and empowered to participate in a circular economy?
In general, I believe the will to win is a more inclusive and enduring emotion to strengthen for extraordinary outcomes regarding this topic- versus the fear of failure. To strengthen the will to win we need better frameworks to give greater currency to winning at what matters most (vs the Super Bowl, World Cup, etc). There is plenty to learn and leverage from the engagement success of certain professional sports, and in some cases, the Olympics.

Facilities Generate Revenue with Frequency Regulation
Facility Executive
Facility owners and operators invest in high-performance building systems like building automation systems and variable frequency drives (VFDs) to increase system efficiency and reduce energy consumption. These efficient systems feature the natural benefit of increased occupant comfort and control over sustained building operations with lower electric costs. But, what most owners and operators don’t know is that these systems can also turn their building into a revenue-generating asset.

Agrion Microgrid Report
On August 29, 2012, AGRION hosted a roundtable discussion on microgrids and demand response. I had the opportunity to facilitate this discussion. The goal of this event was to take a closer look at the current state of microgrids and demand response markets in terms of technology, policy, and feasibility. The following is a record of that conversation with a focus on the most pertinent information brought forth throughout the dialogue.

1500 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA
- Present
This project was just named a finalist for the 2013 Energy Storage Awards North America for 2013. 1500 Walnut Street is a 22-story, two-tower, high-rise office building located in the central business district in Philadelphia, PA. This 270,000 square foot office building, owned by 1500 Walnut Enterprises and operated by SSH Management, provides space for office tenants and has a well-known restaurant on the first floor. The first tower was constructed in 1929 and the second in 1963. In 2008…
This project was just named a finalist for the 2013 Energy Storage Awards North America for 2013. 1500 Walnut Street is a 22-story, two-tower, high-rise office building located in the central business district in Philadelphia, PA. This 270,000 square foot office building, owned by 1500 Walnut Enterprises and operated by SSH Management, provides space for office tenants and has a well-known restaurant on the first floor. The first tower was constructed in 1929 and the second in 1963. In 2008, the building underwent significant mechanical and controls upgrades, including replacement of two chillers and addition of thermal ice storage.
Energy sources at 1500 Walnut include electricity and district steam. From the standpoint of total energy consumption, 1500 Walnut’s EUI, or energy use intensity, is approximated at 107.5 kBtu/square foot, slightly higher than the CBECS average of 101.2 kBtu/square foot for office buildings in the Northeast. Electricity consumption is 20.7 kWh/square foot relative to a CBECS average of 16.5 kWh/square foot for office buildings in the Northeast. Average peak demand is 1,060 kW, with a maximum summer peak of 1,400 kW. Demand response is not merely experimental for this office building– it exercises the option to use automated demand response in its normal daily operations. Instead of relying only on the thermal inertia of the building and its systems to compensate when shedding load, 1500 Walnut uses thermal storage to enable substantial reduction of its mechanical cooling load for demand response.
Results for an operational demand response building such as 1500 Walnut are meaningful when measured economically. Target projections for demand response revenue total $60,000 annually: $30,000 in direct energy savings, and $30,000 in revenue. Since the annual energy bill for the building is around $500,000, the total demand response revenue is projected to be 12% of the annual energy bill.Other creatorsSee project -
NYC Distributed Storage Working Group

In FY 2013 the U.S. Army Fort Meade worked with American Water, Viridity Energy, and Sain Engineering Associates to implement a project to respond to electric grid frequency fluctuations for the Fort’s water filtration plant, saving about 2.3 billion Btu and $75,000 in utility rebates annually. This was the first successful program at a large water filtration plant to use a new Source Control and Data Acquisition or SCADA system to optimally cycle the pump motors during grid frequency events without affecting water operations.
