Similar to the Grid Planning for Vehicle Electrification task force, this task force seeks to evaluate the state-of-the-art practice for electrification impacts from building decarbonization and was possible thanks to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). It evaluates novel planning methods and highlights best practices, identifies gaps across all facets of planning, and suggests next steps for the industry. Topics of particular interest include the overlap between planning and operations, the technology evolution required both in buildings themselves and in the grid planning toolkits, and commonalities across regional building electrification impacts.
