4 Peak Energy Demand Requires additional power plant capacity Reduces capacity utilization and return on investment Causes imbalances in the power grid Increases air pollution at a critical period of the day May result in monthly charges many times higher than base electricity rates

5 How Commercial Building Owners Pay for Peak Demand Two Distinct Types of Charges: Base Use: Peak Demand: Measured in total kwh used Measured in highest kw used during peak periods

6 Base Use v. Peak Demand MPH Miles Driven = Base Use (kwh) Top Speed = Peak Demand (kw)

27 Peak Demand Savings Creating the Tool $ = $ $ Demand Savings = savings per unit area of the roof for the period of the demand charge; Δ Demand = difference between maximum deck heat fluxes; $ Demand Charge = charge per kw of electricity, usually per month; and Efficiency at Peak Load = coefficient of performance at which the air conditioner operates to remove the peak heat flux through the deck.

28 Peak Demand Savings Creating the Tool = + Δ Demand = difference between maximum deck heat flux for surface R05E90 and a surface with other combinations of solar reflectance and infrared emittance HS = annual average hourly solar insolation for climates; and Apand Bp = coefficients to fit the values for Demand.
