The Santa Monica Community College (SMC) new construction case study for Automated Demand Response (Auto-DR) is an example of how to enable customers with automated load control systems, such as an Energy Management System (EMS), to participate in demand response events without manual intervention. Although it is most cost effective to design a project with energy management in mind, new construction has traditionally been a missed opportunity for utility program participation. In an effort to incorporate Auto-Demand Response measures in new construction projects, a pilot "Technical Audit" (plan review) was done on Santa Monica College Campus new construction projects. This presentation draws from the lessons learned about this pilot audit both from an engineering analysis and project management standpoints to propose solutions on how to manage future peak demand events.
