Demand Forecasting

Stop Reacting to Demand Charges. Start Predicting Them.

Demand charges can be 30-70% of a commercial electric bill. VITALITY's forecasting engine uses your building's own history to predict peak demand — so you can manage it before the meter spikes.

From Historical Data to Forward-Looking Decisions

Demand forecasting is not about guessing. It is about feeding years of your building data into models that learn patterns humans miss.

1

Ingest History

The engine pulls in every interval read, every billing cycle, every weather event associated with your meters. More data means better predictions.

2

Model Patterns

Machine learning identifies seasonal trends, occupancy impacts, equipment schedules, and weather correlations unique to each building.

3

Forecast Forward

Get daily, weekly, and monthly demand forecasts. Know your peak demand window before it arrives. Plan load shedding, pre-cooling, or curtailment ahead of time.

Demand Charges Are the Quiet Budget Killer

One 15-minute spike can set your demand charge for the entire month. Forecasting helps you see it coming — and do something about it.

Reduce Peak Demand Charges

When you know the peak is coming, you can shift loads, stagger equipment starts, or pre-cool buildings. Even a small reduction in peak kW translates to real savings every month.

Plan Ahead

Budget season should not be a guessing game. Use forecasted demand to build accurate utility budgets that hold up against actual consumption.

Benchmark Performance

Compare forecasted vs. actual demand across buildings. Identify which properties are outperforming and which ones need attention.

Models That Improve Over Time

The longer you use VITALITY, the better the forecasts get. The engine continuously learns from new data, weather patterns, and operational changes.

Portfolio-Wide Forecasting

Every building gets its own model. Roll up to portfolio-level forecasts for budgeting and strategic planning. Drill into any property for the details.

Weather-Adjusted Accuracy

Forecasts incorporate weather data so predictions account for heat waves, cold snaps, and everything in between. The model separates weather impact from operational changes.
