Create a demand profile for the facility that includes the type and number of consumables typically used over a 2-week period. If the utility company defines charges based on multiple tariffs that change throughout the day, then your demand profile should track consumption for each tariff period. This information helps you select appropriate tariff target values. There are two ways to gather and use this information:

  • Configure a Trend Study to record the use of energy at the facility and set the energy usage target to a value less than the largest peaks.

  • Look at the facility utility bill and set the energy usage target a few percent below the peak.
