In this video, published by the Building Efficiency for a Sustainable Tomorrow (BEST) Center, Cindy Regnier from the Lawrence Berkley National Lab provides an overview of the connected communities program. First, Regnier introduces connected communities (a group of grid-interactive efficient buildings that collectively work to maximize building, community, and grid efficiency) and discusses their characteristics. Next, specific connected community projects are analyzed, highlighting innovations and unique aspects of each project. Regnier also discusses the importance of interoperability and key takeaways from the connected communities program so far.

The video runs 23:07 minutes in length.
