Automate Steam Demand Charge Reduction (Download)

Peak demand is when demand for steam is at its highest. For steam, this typically occurs in the early to late morning hours as a preparatory step for people to enter a building.

Charges during the peak demand time period are more expensive than typical rates and can result in higher-than-expected and unpredictable utility bills.

For example: Every morning during the winter in New York City, in the Con Edison Steam District, steam peak demand charges increase by ~10x.

Shifting demand to off-peak times can save buildings thousands of dollars in monthly steam costs.

Access this guide to see how AI can be used in pre-heat steam automation algorithms to reduce or eliminate peak demand charges.
