Advancements in building energy management have enabled grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) to provide multiple grid services, creating new coordination demands for aggregators responsible for integrating building-level flexibility into demand response (DR) programs. However, existing DR coordination mechanisms designed for earlier generations of single service, low-automation buildings are increasingly inadequate for processing the multi-service, multi-dimensional flexibility profiles produced by GEBs. To address this challenge, this study proposes an aggregation and coordination approach that restructures how aggregators interpret and utilize building-level flexibility information. By introducing a unified and scalable representation of coupled demand response and frequency regulation flexibility, the method reduces computational and operational complexity in the aggregator’s decision process. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach enables more efficient, tractable multi-service scheduling and provides a viable pathway for integrating GEBs flexibility into modern DR programs.
