In conjunction with Annex 54 (www.iea-annex54.org) of the International Energy 

Agency’s Energy Conservation in Building and Community Systems Program 

(IEA/ECBCS), the NIST Engineering Laboratory will host a one-day seminar on the 

integration of micro-generation technologies within buildings. This seminar presents 

an excellent opportunity for representatives from government, utilities, and the 

building community to learn more about a technology that is advancing rapidly 

internationally.

Participants will hear from international researchers on topics that include:

• Current US and International market for micro-generation technologies 

• Efforts to promote micro-gen through labeling, subsidies, and tariff reductions

• Examples of successful integrations

• Analysis of energy, environmental, and cost benefits

• Operation within a Smart Grid

Building Integration of

Micro-Generation Technologies

A Seminar Providing a Technical Assessment of Micro-Generation Technologies &

an International Perspective on Commercialization Strategies

What is Micro-Generation?

Residential or small-commercial 

applications of the on-site 

generation of power with heating

and/or cooling integrated into a 

building’s energy system, which

may include energy storage, 

advanced control strategies, or 

demand-side management
