In this context, demand response (DR) is associated with significant environmental and economic benefits when looking at how electricity grids, communities and buildings can operate optimally. In DR, the consumer becomes a prosumer with an important active role in the exchange of energy on an hourly basis. DR is gradually gaining ground with respect to the reduction of peak loads, grid balancing and dealing with the volatility of renewable energy sources (RES). This transition calls for high environmental awareness and new tools or services that will improve the dynamic as well as secure multidirectional exchange of energy and data. Overall, DR is identified as an important field for technological and market innovations aligned with climate change mitigation policies and the transition to sustainable smart grids in the foreseeable future. Smart Buildings, Smart Communities and Demand Response provides an insight into various intrinsic aspects of DR potential, at the building and the community level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDenia Kolokotsa\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor at the School of Environmental Engineering of the Technical University of Crete in Greece, President of the European Cool Roofs Council, Editor of the Elsevier \u003ci\u003eEnergy and Buildings Journal\u003c\/i\u003e and former Editor-in-Chief of the \u003ci\u003eAdvances in Building Energy Research Journal\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNikos Kampelis\u003c\/b\u003e works as a Research Associate at the Energy Management in the Built Environment Research (EMBER) laboratory of the Technical University of Crete.
