Building owners can reduce demand charges by shaving their demand peaks using a strategy called load shedding—either on a schedule, in response to price signals, or upon request from the building's electric utility. Lighting provides good opportunities for load shedding because it usually occurs when daylight is available, with savings possible year-round. There are many ways to achieve load shedding using lighting control, providing building owners with choices when it comes to finding a solution that's right for them.
