Abstract
Space heating and cooling represents the single largest category of in building energy use for U.S. residential and commercial buildings, with heating representing 61% of residential and 46% commercial energy consumption. Building heating technologies are dominated by natural gas technologies, and are an important opportunity for building electrification to enable a transition to a low CO2 energy system. FLXenabler study is a joint analysis effort among multiple analysis teams at NREL and focused on examining the role of geothermal heating and cooling (GHC) system with thermal energy storage (TES) providing flexibility. Utilizing information from ResStock the amount of energy consumption associated with heating and cooling by state was calculated. We applied adjusted load shapes to estimate the a maximum grid savings potential of using TES to address building space conditioning. Normalizing grid, fuel, and emissions impacts locations with higher favorability for further study in FLXenabler were identified.
