Despite recent efforts to enable smart, efficient and grid-interactive buildings leveraging BIM and BAS, their interoperability remains limited. According to the literature, ontology driven architectures provide a promising direction for enabling seamless data exchange. This review qualitatively analyses eight BIM and BAS ontologies to determine their suitability for context-aware DSM. By mitigating interoperability issues within DSM mechanisms, the use of ontologies can promote energy flexibility, environmental comfort, operational efficiency and reduced energy costs.enDemand-side managementContext-awareOntologyBuilding automation systemsBuilding information modellingInteroperabilityConference Publication10.35490/ec3.2022.1542022-09-29https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
