From Pilot to Participation: Advancing Energy Efficiency and Load Flexibility in Commercial Buildings

Date: November 2025

This session explores how Eversource and Edo partnered to unlock scalable, automated demand flexibility across 18 buildings and 2.5 million square feet of commercial building space in Connecticut, including in disadvantaged municipalities. Learn how the team integrated energy efficiency and demand response through the Connecticut Innovative Energy Solutions (IES) program, leveraging machine learning, BAS integration, and locational flexibility via the Piclo platform. Key takeaways include peak reduction results from Chelsea Piers, customer feedback from public schools, and how utilities can build replicable programs that engage underserved customers while improving grid reliability. Attendees will gain insight into how utilities can evolve beyond direct response programs toward holistic grid-interactive strategies.
