Abstract
Demand response is an important emerging part of smart grids and there is a large stream of research from theoretical and modeling perspectives. However, there is relatively little experimental evidence that could help researchers and building operators make informed decisions on best practices for modeling, developing, and deployment of control mechanisms. We contribute to the body of experimental research by providing numerical insights into the role and availability of residential HVAC systems for control. We share the findings on the duration of the cooling cycle, off cycle, and temperature settling time of HVAC systems from data collected from a smart neighborhood located in Atlanta, GA.

These findings are specific to the experiments and the neighborhood. However, they may be generalizable, providing much-needed quantitative information for more modeling studies and ballpark estimations for other deployment studies. Further research could include additional experiment research in the neighborhood or developing new experimental facilities. VII.
