Abstract: This paper proposes a methodology to optimize the mixture of renewable and alternative energy resources, according to various neighborhood concepts, renewable energy settings and energy sources employed for the operation of buildings. Two neighborhood concepts are explored- a standalone neighborhood, which is independent from the local grid, and a grid-tied neighborhood, which can supply electricity to the grid as well as draw from it, depending on available energy generation from other sources. Renewable energy sources employed in the study consist of photovoltaic technology as well as wind turbines, while alternative energy sources consist of waste to energy. The proposed methodology is applied to a hypothetical mixed-use neighborhood representing a cold northern climate.
