Passive DSM Clause Samples

Passive DSM. A first approach to DSM is to engage as little as possible with the end-user (in a role of energy consumer) and automate all non-point-of-use activities such as heating the house and charging the car. Although this method seems worry-free, care should be taken that energy consumers can be frustrated by the lack of knowledge on certain aspects of the DSM (eg. “why doesn’t my car charge right away?”). Practice theory warns us that practices are linked and that although it might seem that the end-user is not affected in one practice (eg. the delaying of starting the washing machine doesn’t affect the washing practice), he might still be affected in another (eg. “if the washing machine is not immediately emptied, I have to iron more”). It seems therefore that this first approach to DSM highly depends on keeping the DSM as invisible as possible, which might not always be possible. In addition, these passive options offer only a fraction of the possibilities of DSM.
