Predict the Peak. Skip the Penalty.
Demand charges can be 30-50% of a commercial electric bill. VITALITY forecasts peak demand using historical consumption, weather data, and occupancy patterns — so you can act before the spike, not after the invoice.
How Demand Forecasting Works
VITALITY analyzes your historical demand patterns, correlates them with weather forecasts and building schedules, and predicts when you'll approach peak demand — hours or days in advance.
Historical Pattern Analysis
We study your building's demand behavior over time — time of day, day of week, seasonal shifts — to establish a predictive baseline.
Weather Integration
Incoming heat wave? VITALITY factors weather forecasts into demand predictions so you're not caught off guard.
Advance Alerts
Get notified when forecasted demand approaches your peak threshold. Enough lead time to shed load or shift schedules.
What You Can Do With Forecasts
Avoid Demand Penalties
Demand charges lock in based on your single highest peak. One bad hour can set your rate for the month. Forecasting helps you avoid it.
Load Shifting
Move energy-intensive operations to off-peak hours. Pre-cool buildings before demand peaks. Schedule equipment strategically.
Procurement Planning
Better demand forecasts mean better energy procurement. Negotiate contracts with data, not guesses.
