Forecasts demand 15 minutes ahead.
Identifies which equipment can be staggered without affecting operations. Executes. Verifies.
02
Identify
Determines which equipment can be staggered or curtailed without affecting operations. Knows the thermal mass of every zone, the charge state of every battery.
03
Execute
Sends dispatch commands to BMS, VRF, lighting, EV chargers, and battery systems. Sub-second coordination across all controllable loads.
04
Verify
Confirms the intervention held demand below target. Logs the event, quantifies the savings, and adjusts the model for next time.
What gets managed
The four demand traps that set your peak.
Most businesses set their monthly demand peak in the first 45 minutes of operations. These are the patterns that cause it.
Shift start cascades
Chillers, kitchen equipment, and laundry all starting at 6AM creates a demand spike that sets the peak for the entire month. Staggering startup across 45 minutes eliminates the spike without delaying operations.
EV charging coordination
Fleet vehicles plugged in simultaneously after the morning run. Intelligent charge scheduling distributes load across the day, prioritizing vehicles by departure time.
Cooling load during peak tariff
Pre-cooling zones during off-peak hours and riding thermal mass through the expensive window. The Operator monitors comfort drift to ensure no complaints.
Weekend equipment left running
Kitchen exhaust fans, car park lighting, HVAC zones serving empty floors. Detected within 15 minutes of the last occupant leaving, curtailed automatically.
Real savings
What demand management delivers.

Equipment staggering
Every asset has a safe operating window.
The Dispatcher knows the thermal mass, charge state, and operational constraints of every controllable asset. Nothing gets curtailed beyond its safe limit.
HVAC
15–25% demand reductionRaise setpoint +2°C during peak window
Comfort drift monitored. Reverts if any zone exceeds threshold.
Lighting
8–12% demand reductionCurtail non-essential zones to 60%
Task lighting preserved. Common areas and car parks only.
Refrigeration
10–18% demand reduction30-minute thermal mass buffer
Product temperature never exceeds HACCP limits. Compressor cycles monitored.
EV Chargers
20–40% demand reductionReduce charging rate during peak
Vehicles charged by scheduled departure. Priority queue by urgency.
How it works for your operations
Your demand charges drop. Your operations stay the same.
The AI layer works with your existing equipment and BMS. No new hardware required for most sites. The intelligence coordinates what you already have to prevent demand spikes automatically.
You see demand charges drop on the next bill. The AI does the 24/7 coordination that no operations team can sustain manually.
What we need from you
BMS data feed (BACnet, Modbus, or API export), meter data (interval or real-time), and equipment schedules. Most operations already have all three.
What you get
Monthly demand reduction reports. Real dollar savings on your bill. Equipment health monitoring included. Measurable results from month one.
The economics
Simple monthly fee per facility. The savings typically exceed the cost within the first billing cycle. No long-term commitment required.
Stop paying for demand spikes that last 15 minutes.
One conversation to understand your load profile. We will show you where the peaks are hiding and what it costs to prevent them.
