Abstract
A vehicle configured to provide energy to a building is disclosed. The vehicle may include a transceiver configured to receive a set point temperature, historical building load consumption information and current building load consumption information associated with the building. The vehicle may further include a processor configured to obtain a trigger signal, and transmit a command signal to cause an activation of a building component to the set point temperature responsive to obtaining the trigger signal. The processor may further compare the current building load consumption information with the historical building load consumption information responsive to activating the building component, and determine a building component load profile based on the comparison and the set point temperature. The processor may then control a building component operation based on the building component load profile.
