Design professionals often engage in decisions about energy through the lens of equipment specs and energy models. While useful, the demand side often dominates. This program pulls the camera back to show the full stack: how electricity is generated, moved, managed, and ultimately consumed, and the opportunities that arise as buildings are increasingly transactive participants in the energy system.
