Several new loadshedding programs have been implemented or are under consideration.  Historically, the target customers have been large industrial users who can reduce the equivalent load of several large office buildings. While the individual load reduction from an individual office building may be less significant, there is ample opportunity for load reduction in this area.  The load reduction programs and incentives for industrial customers may not be suitable for commercial building owners. In particular, industrial customers are likely to have little variation in load from day to day. Thus a robust baseline accounting for weather variability is required to provide building owners with realistic targets that will encourage them to participate in load shedding programs.</p>1 aKinney, Satkartar1 aPiette, Mary, Ann1 aGu, Lixing1 aHaves, Philip  uhttps://simulationresearch.lbl.gov/publications/demand-relief-and-weather-sensitivity
