Automated Demand Response
The Automated Demand Response (OpenADR®) add-on is a software application that allows a utility supplier to automatically and securely communicate with the Automated Logic WebCTRL® building automation system.
The OpenADR add-on listens for demand curtailment signals from the utility company. These signals are passed to the WebCTRL system, where demand-reduction strategies are applied to the connected HVAC equipment. When participating in automated demand response programs, customers may receive reduced utility rates or utility rebates1.
1Cost reductions are dependent on proper implementation of demand response strategy. Availability of rebates depends on your utility provider. Please contact your utility provider for more information.
