A Case Study on Energy Consumption Trends and Demand Reduction Strategies at an Urban Campus

This study examines peak energy demands across campus buildings, assesses demand charges, and explores strategies to reduce energy consumption. Despite increased energy usage in 2023, demand charges were lower than in 2022. This decrease is attributed to advanced energy management strategies, the adoption of efficient technologies such as LED lighting, and participation in demand response programs. These initiatives have resulted in significant cost savings and enhanced energy management at Wentworth Institute of technology.
