Demand Response Auto-Shed

Earn revenue from your existing controls

Madison Avenue Towerparticipates in ConEd's grid-relief programs. When ConEd calls a shed event, our pre-cool → coast → restore playbook executes through G36-compliant setpoint moves — earning capacity payments while contributing to LEED EAc5 (Demand Response, 1–2 points) and reducing peak-coincident emissions on the dirtier marginal-grid hours.

Auto-shed playbook

Standard 4-hour event execution — three phases driven by setpoint nudges, no occupant-visible disruption.

1Pre-cool

−60 min before event

•Drop zone setpoints by 1.5°F
•Open OA dampers to 60% (free cooling)
•Charge thermal mass of building

2Coast (Shed)

0 → +4 hrs

•Raise setpoints by 2°F (peak hours)
•Trim chiller demand 25–30%
•Lighting dim 20% (non-critical zones)

3Restore

event end + 60 min

•Step setpoints back to occupied schedule
•Validate zone recovery within 30 min
•Log shed performance to ConEd portal

All setpoint writes proceed through the 4-layer safety model (dry-run → dual approval if outside guardrails → BACnet priority 13 → auto-revert) — production track, not active in this demo.
