<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">You mentioned that the demand is larger … I am guessing that you mean larger in your model, but I am not sure (visa-versa if higher in actual measured building). Since you mentioned that it is higher in summer
I would check to see if the summer occupancy is like you expect or if (like a typical university building) the occupancy is lower in summer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It sounds like your daily load profile is much flatter than you have modeled. For example, you could model 12 hours at 100% lights, people, plug load, etc. or model 12 hours at 75% and 12 hours at 25%. Either
way you can get the same consumption, but the demand will not be correct. I have just given a simple example, and it is not quiet this simple since the load cannot be spread out exactly as I have noted and keep the exact same consumption. However, this general
idea will get you in the right direction … flatter daily load profiles as defined by people, light and plug load schedules will help you keep the same consumption and reduce the demand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Would anyone have any thoughts/experience with lowering demand to line up with an energy model?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our consumption lines up nearly perfect, while demand is significantly larger in the summer months.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas welcome!<o:p></o:p></p>
