Determine the utility saving goal and decide when each load is necessary to the facility and its occupants. DLLR operates on the principle that some loads are not critical or even required under certain circumstances. For example, you might determine the following:
-
Except during a specific high usage period, a water heater can be shut off for a period of time if the water temperature is currently at least 105˚F (40˚C).
-
An air handler normally can be off 15 minutes before internal temperature changes become noticeable. Days with extreme outside temperatures are an exception.
-
Decorative lighting during the day might not be worth the cost during times of peak energy charges.
You can modify targets by writing values to the Current Demand Limit and set Current LR Target attributes.
