48-Hour Load Forecasting & BMS Schedule Optimization

Predict tomorrow's energy load.
Adjust today's schedules.

Voltpathio reads your building's consumption patterns 48 hours ahead and rewrites HVAC, lighting, and machinery schedules before demand spikes — cutting facility energy costs 15–25% without touching comfort or production throughput.

From BMS connection to automated savings in four steps

01

Connect

Connect to your BMS via BACnet, Modbus, or MQTT — no new hardware required. Setup completes in under 2 hours.

02

Predict

48-hour load prediction refreshes every hour using weather, occupancy, and 6 months of your facility's historical patterns.

03

Adjust

Schedules for HVAC, lighting, and machinery are rewritten automatically before each shift — no manual override required.

04

Measure

Real-time savings dashboard tracks kWh reduced, cost delta, and demand charge avoidance across your facilities.

Numbers you can defend to a CFO — because we log every one

A load forecast that actually runs ahead of demand

Our load prediction model combines weather forecasts, occupancy patterns, and 6 months of your facility's historical consumption data. It refreshes every hour and automatically recalculates schedules before they are needed — not after a spike has already hit your demand charge.

Schedules that write themselves — before you need them

HVAC pre-conditioning starts earlier on hot days. Lighting zones step down before occupancy drops. Machinery cycles shift to off-peak windows. All of this happens automatically — every change is logged with a reason code and can be reviewed or rolled back at any time.

Walk through the process

The savings math is different for office buildings versus industrial plants. So is our approach.

Commercial Buildings

Cut HVAC costs in office towers, retail centers, and logistics hubs without tenant complaints

Adaptive pre-cooling and heating around meeting schedules. Lighting zone management by footfall prediction. HVAC optimization calibrated to actual occupancy — not a schedule set once and forgotten.

Industrial Plants

Reduce demand charges by shifting compressors, chillers, and auxiliary loads to off-peak windows — without touching production sequencing

Chiller pre-loading during off-peak periods. Dust collection and ventilation cycling shifted to low-demand windows. Your production line runs exactly as planned — we optimize around it, not against it. We do not write to production control parameters.

Facility managers talk straight

We were skeptical about any system that promised automatic schedule changes without a manual review step. After 90 days we stopped reviewing because it was always right.

The 48-hour forecast caught a spike we would have paid $4,000 in demand charges for. The ROI math took about two weeks to become obvious.
