ABSTRACT
Energy flexibility in
buildings will play an important role in the smart energy system. Office
buildings have more potentials to provide energy flexibility to the grid
compared to other types of buildings, due to the existing building management,
control systems and large energy consumption. Consumers in office buildings
(building owners/managers and occupants) take a main role for adopting and
engaging in building energy flexibility. This paper provides a systematic review of
consumer central energy flexibility in office buildings with the discussion of
social, technical and business aspects. This paper clarifies the correlations
of consumers’ concerns, external influential factors, energy flexibility
resources and technology with eight hypotheses. This paper suggests that
technical solutions with the integration of distributed energy resources,
building management and control system can boost energy flexibility in the
office buildings.
KEYWORDS
