%X This paper presents a distributed controller for adjusting
the
electrical consumption of a residential building in
response to an
external power setpoint in Watts. The
controller is based on a
multi\-agent system and has been
implemented in JCSP. It is modularly
built, capable of
self\-configuration and adapting to a dynamic
environment.
The paper describes the overall architecture and the
design
of the individual agents. Preliminary results from
proof\-of\-concept
tests on a real building are included.
