Automated demand response for smarter energy cost control
The i‑Vu® Automated Demand Response Add‑On enables buildings to automatically respond to utility demand‑response events—reducing peak energy costs while maintaining comfort through intelligent HVAC strategies.
The ADD‑OADR2 i‑Vu® Automated Demand Response Add‑On allows the i‑Vu Building Automation System to securely receive and act on utility demand‑response signals using the OpenADR® standard. When a utility issues a demand‑response event—such as during Critical Peak Pricing periods—the add‑on passes the signal to i‑Vu controllers, which then apply predefined demand‑reduction strategies to connected HVAC equipment.
By automating this process, facilities can participate in demand‑response programs without manual intervention, helping reduce operating costs and potentially qualify for utility incentives, depending on provider programs and site configuration.
Operates as a licensed add‑on within the i‑Vu Building Automation System.
Demand‑response strategies are applied directly at the controller level for fast, reliable action.
Preconfigured response logic minimizes engineering effort and speeds commissioning.
Suitable for single buildings or multi‑site portfolios participating in demand‑response programs.
