Which of the following strategies supports energy resilience by enhancing the grid interactivity of a...

Energy-storage systems enhance grid interactivity because they can actively change when the building obtains or supplies electrical energy. Batteries may charge during periods of low demand, low electricity prices, or abundant renewable generation and discharge during peak-demand periods or grid emergencies. This reduces peak loads, supports grid reliability, and can maintain selected building functions during outages. Smart meters provide valuable consumption data but do not independently shift or supply energy. Occupancy sensors reduce lighting use when spaces are vacant, but they primarily operate as efficiency controls rather than grid-interactive resources. Energy storage therefore provides the strongest combination of demand management, renewable-energy integration, peak reduction, and resilience. These outcomes align with LEED v5’s focus on operational decarbonization and resilient building performance.
