COMMENTARY
Smart Grid Is Here
If you think the Smart Grid is an abstract concept for the future, it might be time for a new look. Energy experts are predicting that during the next decade more than 20% of electrical demand in the U.S. will be met by building owners more effectively optimizing energy consumption in collaboration with utilities. This is enabled by a global market in building automation that ABI Research says will top $32 billion in 2011 and jump to $37 billion in 2016. “North America is the largest market for building automation, but the highest percentage gains will be Asia Pacific,” says Jesse Berst, founder and chief analyst of SmartGridNews.com. “A big part of the boom comes from the (relatively) newfound ability to hook smart buildings to the Smart Grid, allowing them to tap into revenue streams from demand response.” THIS EDITION features the 10th annual BACnet® Today supplement, which has a new name and expanded scope. It’s now called BACnet Today and The Smart Grid, and we’ve included articles on both. It’s a good fit because many of the players are the same and the issues that led to BACnet now face the Smart Grid. “If standards advocates are not vigilant, we might find that we are entering another period of proprietary solutions that will bring back the vendor lock-in that BACnet fought so hard to eliminate,” says Dave Robin, chair of ASHRAE’s BACnet standards committee. Concern about interoperability and issues such as security led the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) to create the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel. This group includes 700 member organizations, and many of the longtime leaders in BACnet. This edition’s supplement focuses on issues that will affect the HVAC&R industry. It includes Smart Grid articles on evolving utility and customer relationships, the architecture of the facility-to-grid interface, and the proposed ASHRAE Facility Smart Grid Information Model (FSGIM). BACnet articles cover new developments in operator workstations, and changes in BACnet event detection and reporting.

Lynn G. Bellenger Remembered
We learned as we were finishing this edition that immediate past ASHRAE President Lynn G. Bellenger died Wednesday, Oct. 19. Bellenger, 62, was the first woman president in the Society’s 116-year history. Her term ended in June. “We at ASHRAE are greatly saddened by the death of our former president and our friend,” said Ron Jarnagin, ASHRAE president. “Her lifelong passion for Bellenger engineering excellence resonated within our membership and our industry, inspiring us through her belief that engineers will lead an energy revolution with innovation. Through her service, she showed that there is a path available to all who wish to extend the influence of engineering principles to better serve the world we live in.” Bellenger, P Fellow ASHRAE, was a recognized expert .E., in energy management, with a strong focus on the need for energy modeling to help create and refine more efficient buildings. She was a partner in Pathfinder Engineers & Architects, Rochester, N.Y. If you would like to send your condolences, email publicrelations@ashrae.org. The messages will be assembled into a remembrance for the Bellenger family.

We also have a solid lineup of technical articles, case studies and columns. IF YOU’RE like me, you’re still learning about the Smart Grid, but it appears to be a win-win for utilities, consumers and the environment. And it’s happening now. A report from Pike Research says there were 57.9 million meter installations and 90 active utility projects by the end of 2010. This includes more than five million smart meters that have been installed nationwide as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. We hope you enjoy the edition. Your feedback is always welcome.
