ADD-OADR2
Carrier’s Automated Demand Response (OpenADR) add‑on enables secure, automated communication between utilities and the i‑Vu system. It receives demand‑response signals and passes them to i‑Vu controllers, which apply demand‑reduction strategies to connected HVAC equipment. Participating in these programs may help lower energy costs or qualify customers for utility incentives, depending on provider offerings and implementation effectiveness.
The ADD‑OADR2 add‑on enables the i‑Vu system to automatically receive and act on utility demand‑response signals. It supports secure OpenADR communication and applies demand‑reduction strategies to connected HVAC equipment, helping organizations manage energy use and lower peak‑pricing costs.
By automatically applying demand‑reduction strategies during high‑cost periods, the add‑on helps lessen the financial impact of Critical Peak Pricing events. This automation allows facilities to respond quickly without needing manual adjustments.
Demand‑level response logic is included in all Carrier i‑Vu factory‑programmed controllers, making setup straightforward. This plug‑and‑play approach helps facilities participate in demand‑response programs efficiently and access potential incentives.
