Claim:
1. A method to fabricate a building structure, comprising: a. mixing a texture aggregate filler mixed with a phase change material (PCM), said filler being selected from the group consisting of perlite, glass microballoons, glass bubbles, phenolic microballoons, and microspheres; b. placing the PCM with the filler on a surface exposed to a conditioned air flow and shaped to increase thermal contact between the PCM and the conditioned air flow; c. extruding the elongated hollow support structures to attach the PCM structures with a predetermined cross-sectional shape; and d. operating an appliance including a memory storage location storing a flag indicative of a period when a current alternating current (AC) duty cycle from an electric grid differs from a specified AC duty cycle by a predetermined variance, the appliance including a controller coupled to the flag to autonomously place the appliance in an energy shedding mode during a predicted DR period.
