DESCRIPTION:Prof. Prashant Shenoy\, University of Massachusetts\nToday\, b
 uildings account for nearly 75% of the electricity usage and 40% of the to
 tal energy usage in modern economies. Consequently\, techniques for reduci
 ng the  energy and carbon footprint of buildings has emerged as an import
 ant research topic. Demand side energy management refers to techniques emp
 loyed by smart buildings or its occupants to modulate the energy usage for
  various energy- or grid-level optimizations. In this talk\, I will argue 
 that modeling and prediction of electrical loads is a key ingredient of an
 y demand-side energy management technique. I will describe opportunities a
 nd challenges in modeling these loads and\ndescribe our recent work in emp
 irically characterizing and modeling common residential loads. I will also
  describe how better modeling can result in more effective demand side ene
 rgy management and better energy efficiency improvements in the smart grid
