• Data • Cost of IoT • Integrations & Automation Hot Water Power Miser → Mello Then: Power Miser Now: Mello Mello • Load Shaper • Energy Arbitrage • Automated Peak Scheduling w/ API • FastTracker • GridSolver Electric Vehicles EV Charger → EV Rate BED uses metering from the Wi-Fi connected EV chargers and accesses their stored data through an Application Programming Interface (API) to bring in interval charging data for billing.

 Metering: BED ensures they can connect to the charger and pull in accurate interval data. BED compares against AMI values from the customer’s meter.  Application Programming Interface (API): each charger company typically has documentation on how to connect to their charger using a unique key. During the customer enrollment phase this key is obtained when the customer joins BED’s EV charging rate.  BED Database: Once access is granted with the unique key, BED pulls in all new interval usage data and stores them in a local database. These data are used to determine when charging occurred and what credit should be provided to each customer. A sample peak day EV load shows the benefit of curtailing charging until off-peak:

 Passing savings on to customers leads to more EV adoption and lower costs for all  Would have cost BED >$100 to serve; with control it cost BED <$2  Customers would have been charged ~$12; now ~$7 Uncontrolled home charging was shown to add 20% - 60% peak contribution by a residential account. The EV Rate has shifted almost all charging off-peak. Electric Thermal Radio Switches → Thermostat Adjustments Focus of Thermal Controls  Commercial HVAC adjustments  Residential Heat Pump program Considerations / Learnings  Customers are living inside of the “battery”  Weatherization improves battery SoC & delta-T slope  Hoping to better understand customer tolerance/flexibility What are the end goals of focusing on Smart Energy Homes?

 Grid impacts are inevitable, but using strategic electrification imposes downward rate pressure  Renewable integrations – excess supply / negative LMPs… grid balancing

Question of Market Structure…  Bottom-up vs. Top-down market design: Who is the conductor?

PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL 1 Logical Buildings

Logical Buildings provides leading Clients include 50+ top-tier real sustainability and smart building estate owner/operators, under software for the Multifamily sector. long term agreements.

Pre-Dev Commercial High Rise Large Mixed Use Multifamily Industrial

Our utility smart meter and IoT smart building platform enables our building owners and their residents to earn revenue, cut utility costs, carbon emissions, and commodity cost exposure

61 Grow from individual, grid-interactive energy-efficient buildings (“GEBs”), to entire portfolio strategies

Our software ecosystem stretches from individual buildings to entire portfolio strategy; clients enter ecosystem from either point and grow In 2015 AvalonBay piloted their first Smart Building in NYC - AvalonBay Fort Greene - then expanded to Boston, and today have national portfolio network of GEB multifamily properties

62 We’re solving an immediate problem for our clients, and delivering outsized value

“When I took a chance on Logical Buildings, it was as the head of sustainability, on the green side alone,” he said. “From a cost standpoint, it’s been worth every penny. We recouped the cost to them and then some. I wish I could have gotten it out faster.”

“The story Logical Buildings is telling, and that I’ve now fully bought into, is a data story. This is an Internet of Things story, a Big Data story, a technology story. There’s a lot of real positive things that we can do now because we have that data and these buildings are really truly talking to us.”

Mark Delisi, AvalonBay Vice President of Corporate Responsibility and Energy Management

63 Multifamily is the largest energy-consuming building segment in urban markets but is vastly underserved by smart building software companies

• Ownership is hard to reach • Zero data transparency – no historical data to reference • Lack mobile tools and cloud platform to monitor and manage • Need to understand two critical stakeholders: the on-site 65% building teams AND the corporate c-suite of NYC buildings larger than 50k square feet are Multifamily. Only 9% are There is a misconception that it is difficult to generate enough energy savings or sustainability value in each commercial office. building to justify the upfront investment cost

◼ Deployment of Components ◼ Wholesale Electrification ◼ Pervasice Systems Integration ◼ Near real-time data ◼ Reliable communications ◼ Supervisory control ◼ Actuation

Sources: Aerocool, Fraunhofer.

◼ High Value ◼ Affordable ◼ Easy to Implement

For smart energy buildings, in many cases the reality is “None of the Above.”

Source: Mai et al. (2018)

Key system-level Technologies ◼ Truly automated DR ◼ Integrated, optimal whole-building control ◼ Automated fault-detection & diagnostics ◼ Real-time electricity data All have very limited to negligible adoption.

There are promising policies at the component scale.

◼ HVAC load flexibility ◼ Several CT manufacturers and service providers offer DR as service to utilities ◼ Predictive models used to maintain occupant comfort ◼ 20+ million homes with a CT

Potential Challenges ◼ Customer enrollment, cost of service ◼ Optimizes only HVAC consumption Sources: Ecobee.

◼ Hits large market (40-120 gallons) ◼ Requires CTA-2045 (or equivalent) communications port ◼ Can connect and control a device ◼ Can use/enable different communications pathways ◼ Takes effect in 2021 Bottom Line: Mass market of new electric WH can be readily DR enabled. Potential Challenge: Customer participation.

◼ Newer rate structure drives self- consumption of PV-generated electricity ◼ ~$0.30/kWh from the grid ◼ ~$0.12/kWh to the grid (un) ◼ Utility control of PV power to the grid (since 2012) ◼ Households consume approximately 20-40 % of self-produced PV electricity ◼ Battery storage ~doubles this ◼ Result: ~65,000 units installed in 2019 ◼ 260MW – this equals all U.S. behind- Sources: Fraunhofer ISE (2020), the-meter storage installed in 2019 ESA (2020), Sonnen (2020).
