and residential settings. With high-speed internet networking, customers and utilities are interconnected via a_x000D_
grid, termed in the industry Smart Grid, providing an opportunity to monitor clients and deliver (and receive)_x000D_
energy in a more optimal manner. Importantly electric utilities see this as an opportunity to meet government_x000D_
objectives on reducing green-house gas emissions. One Smart Grid technology avenue is the delivery of_x000D_
energy at off peak times to customers, where it is stored on-site and then delivered during peak hours. This_x000D_
accomplished at large scale allows utilities to generate power in a more efficient manner. There are numerous_x000D_
technologies under development for off peak delivery and one under consideration is electric radiant heating_x000D_
combined with thermal storage and release. The present proposal investigates this technology relative to_x000D_
traditional technologies that are not as amenable to Smart Grid connectivity. The intent is to establish radiant_x000D_
electric combined with thermal storage and release as a viable alternative to traditional heating technologies_x000D_
and therefore a promising technology for the Smart Grid., program purpose french : Numerous technologies are under development by electric utilities to improve energy efficiency in industrial_x000D_
