Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBs)

Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBs) are buildings equipped with smart systems that actively manage energy use. They optimize how electricity is consumed, stored, and sometimes generated, to improve efficiency and support the power grid. For example, GEBs can reduce energy during peak times or supply stored solar power back to the grid. This balancing helps prevent power shortages, lowers costs, and promotes the use of renewable energy. Overall, GEBs make buildings more sustainable and responsive to grid needs, benefiting both owners and the broader energy system.
