Peak Load Management
Take More Control of Your Utility Costs: Demand Charges
Peak Load Management automatically reduces HVAC electricity demand during peak intervals, lowering demand charges while maintaining guest comfort. Using Verdant’s intelligent thermostat network, it predicts peak demand and coordinates HVAC operation across your property with no added effort from onsite staff.
Peak Demand, solved
What a hot afternoon costs you
Peak demand isn’t about how much electricity you use. It’s about how much you use in one moment.
Everyone turns on the AC 3:00 PM
A heat wave or the end of an event brings guests back to warm rooms at the same time. Air conditioners across the property switch on within minutes of each other.
Your property peaks MINUTES LATER
More electricity is flowing into the building at once than at any other point this month.
You pay for that moment NEXT BILL
Your utility company could charge up to $50 per kW (in some regions) based on that single highest point — up to half your electricity costs.
Peak Load Management prevents that moment. The Verdant system forecasts high-demand intervals and optimizes HVAC operation before a costly peak occurs.
The Verdant system predicts peak demand before it occurs and automatically manages HVAC load across the property.

Peak Load Management: How it Works
Step 1
Forecast Demand
The Verdant system continuously monitors HVAC runtime and predicts your property’s electrical demand, identifying potential peak events before they happen.
Step 2
Prioritize Comfort
Built in occupancy intelligence allows the system to identify occupied and vacant rooms, ensuring comfort remains the top priority where guests are present.
Step 3
Reduce Peak Load
Small HVAC adjustments are distributed across many guestrooms, prioritizing units based on occupancy status and the difference between the in-room temperature and the set point, with greater participation from vacant rooms.
This coordinated approach lowers overall electrical demand without noticeable comfort impacts.
Step 4
Optimize Performance
After every peak event, the system measures performance and continuously refines its control strategy using real property data, delivering smarter results over time.
Peak Demand Savings Potential with Verdant Solutions
The figures shown here are illustrative estimates based on simulator ran outcomes and a hypothetical property with 100 units, assuming a peak with 60% of the units running. The system forecasts the peak and sets a threshold to reduce the peak by 10%, blocking 6 units from running during the peak event.
What Sets Verdant Solutions Apart
Unlike traditional demand management solutions that react after demand spikes occur, Verdant proactively predicts peak events and reduces load before they impact your utility bill.
By combining predictive analytics with occupancy based HVAC control, Verdant intelligently balances energy savings and guest comfort across the property at all times.
