Find the Loads that
Set the Demand Charge.

A Demand and Load Pattern Study is an interval load and peak demand audit: 15-minute load curves, time-of-use alignment, coincident peaks, and simultaneous load stacking, recorded on the panel and attributed load by load.

“My demand charges are huge and I have no idea which loads are stacking up in the same 15 minutes.”

When You Sell It

The Bill Says How Much.
This Study Says Why.

Commercial demand charges bill the single worst 15-minute interval of the month. The utility bill names the number; it never names the loads. Thirty days of recorded intervals do.

1

The Demand Charge Complaint

Your customer opens the bill and calls you. This study is the billable answer: which loads coincide, at what time of day, and what moving one of them would save.

2

Tariff and Schedule Questions

Time-of-use alignment shows whether the building runs its heaviest loads in the most expensive hours, and what a schedule change is actually worth.

3

Before Adding Load

Sizing a new compressor or charger against real coincident peaks, not nameplate math, keeps the customer off a bigger tariff tier.

What Is in the Report

The Peak Attribution Report

A document your customer acts on, page by page: the load curves, the peak unstacked load by load, and the operating changes that move it.

  • 15-minute load curves for the full recording window, charted by day and by season of operation.
  • Time-of-use alignment, showing which loads run in the most expensive hours of the tariff.
  • Coincident peak analysis, the intervals where loads stack and set the monthly demand charge.
  • Simultaneous load stacking, attributed load by load with the kW each contributes.
  • The demand spike schedule, when the spikes land and the operating changes that would move them.
  • Your branding throughout, your logo, your company, your customer relationship.
