Utility‑driven load management for cost savings and grid reliability
Automated Demand Response enables WebCTRL® systems to automatically respond to utility demand response events, helping facilities reduce peak energy usage, earn incentives, and support grid stability while maintaining occupant comfort.
The Automated Demand Response (OpenADR®) add-on is a software application that allows a utility supplier to automatically and securely communicate with the Automated Logic WebCTRL® building automation system.
The OpenADR add-on listens for demand curtailment signals from the utility company. These signals are passed to the WebCTRL system, where demand-reduction strategies are applied to the connected HVAC equipment. When participating in automated demand response programs, customers may receive reduced utility rates or utility rebates.
