First Priority Electricity Demand Reduction in Commercial and Public Buildings: There’s nothing Smart about metering on its own, it’s worth 2% reduction at best! Heating demand reduction is in full swing and is now getting huge results and will continue for 5 years+ The biggest demand reduction gains will be achieved in electricity, LED and OLED will lead this revolution although there will be some rebound effect. Procure energy efficient appliances and energy label all appliances and this will help remove cooling load too in buildings. Remove ac/dc convertor inefficiencies: When using demand side renewables and dc devices, ICT and lighting. Advanced Controls for matching electricity Supply and Demand. Use of batteries in UPS and in mobile devices to optimise Load curves for the mutual benefit of electricity suppliers and demand side renewables return on investment.
