Active load management for WA commercial sites
A surprising amount of a commercial site's load is flexible. It can be shifted, deferred, or smoothed without anyone noticing operationally. We're the platform that does the shifting, to cut the demand charges before they trigger.
The cheapest dollar to save is the one not used at peak.
Most commercial sites don't know what's flexible on their load profile. Operations runs to a schedule. Plant cycles when it cycles. The bill arrives. Nobody connects the schedule to the charge.
A battery is one way to manage peak exposure. Load management is the lever that exists before you buy one, alongside one if you have one, and instead of one if the maths doesn't justify it. It costs less and works on more sites.
Four levers we work on every site.
We see the peak coming.
The platform forecasts the demand peak for your site against weather, time of day, day of week, and recent load behaviour. Most demand charges are set by a single bad window. We see it before it lands.
We move what can be moved.
Pre-cool, pre-heat, pre-pump, pre-charge. Flexible loads that don't care exactly when they run get moved out of the expensive windows and into the cheap ones.
We cut what can be cut, briefly.
For sites that opt in, non-critical loads can be briefly stood down during peak events. The platform makes the call against the saved dollars and the operational cost. Most sites never need it. Some sites save materially from it.
Strata and embedded networks.
Lighting, common-area HVAC, pool plant, lifts, water heating. Common-area loads that have run on default timers since the building was commissioned. We bring them under management.
More of your site is flexible than you think.
Most operators assume their load is fixed because the building runs to a schedule. The schedule is fixed. The load underneath it usually isn't.
Common flexible loads on a WA commercial site:
- —HVAC pre-cooling and pre-heating
- —Refrigeration cycle timing
- —Pool plant and pump scheduling
- —Lift programming and lighting controls
- —Water heating and hot water
- —EV charging windows on site
The site review identifies which of these apply to your building and how much movement is actually available without changing how the site operates.
From load review to live operation.
We map your load profile.
We analyse your last 12 months of interval consumption and identify what's flexible, what's fixed, and where the demand peaks are setting. The output is a quantified saving available under active load management. The review is free.
We connect to what's there.
We integrate with existing building management systems, controls, and metering. Most sites need no new hardware. Where additional control hardware is required, we scope it against the saving.
We run the load every interval.
Peak forecasting, load shifting, and optional shedding. You get a monthly view of what the platform shifted, what it saved, and how the demand profile changed.
What operators ask about load.
Cut the peak before it sets the bill.
Free load review. We map your demand profile, identify what's flexible, and quantify the saving available under active management. The right tariff structure underneath makes every shifted kilowatt worth more. No commitment.
