InControl FOX critical strategic large documented

Why It Matters

R&D reason and business value.

Saving expensive peak-period kWh can produce stronger financial value than saving cheap kWh.

Module Behaviour

Pre-cool/stabilise before peak tariff if needed. During peak, raise setpoint slightly, reduce fan speed, block non-critical cooling, prevent simultaneous heavy loads, and delay recovery where comfort allows.

How To Test

Compare normal days against TAOZ-aware days with similar weather.

Success Metrics

Peak-period kWh, peak-period cost, total daily cost, total daily kWh, max hourly kW during peak, and comfort drift.

Next Action

Define TAOZ tariff periods and add them as visual/reporting bands in FOX dashboard.
