THE GLASS-BOX AI HOTEL · TRADE 8

Peak load management

A single quarter-hour in the year sets the demand charge — for all twelve months. In a hotel it arises from HVAC, pool, kitchen and laundry ramping up at the same time. The AI knows every load and shaves the peak without changing how the house operates.

Frequently asked questions

Why does one quarter-hour set the entire demand charge?

On demand-metered connections the utility takes the highest quarter-hour value of the whole year and multiplies it by the demand rate. The hotel pays for that single peak for twelve months.

How does a hotel’s demand peak arise?

Through simultaneity: heat pump, refrigeration, kitchen, laundry and the charging fleet happen to ramp up together. Not one single load, but their coincidence.

How does the AI shave the peak without losing comfort?

It knows every load in real time, staggers the large consumers and briefly backs off controllable loads before a new maximum can form.
