Power user tips and tricks

Demand management strategy

When you see an orange beacon, you typically have 24-48 hours to act. Reduce load during peak hours (usually 12-6 PM) by:

  • Pre-cooling in morning
  • Staging equipment shutdowns
  • Reducing lighting in unoccupied areas
  • Cycling non-critical equipment

Communication excellence

When you need to explain issues to management or maintenance teams, it’s helpful to include screenshots. Visual evidence helps most teams understand and prioritize immediate needs.

Continuous improvement tracking

Track your base load monthly. Even a 10 kW reduction saves thousands annually. Small improvements can add up to significant savings.

Helpful Hint: You don’t need to master every feature immediately. Start with daily load chart reviews and build from there. The platform saves everything automatically, creating a permanent record of your building’s operational history.
