United Church of Christ Shifts to a Lower Rate!
Are you or your customers in a high rate bracket and you don't know how to get
below the required KW demand?
This is the problem Scott Cummings
and The United Church of Christ were
facing. The United Church of Christ is
located in Simi Valley, California. In
2005 they were put into a more
expensive rate bracket, forcing them
to pay higher electric bills. Each year
they tried to stay below 20KW but
were unsuccessful. In 2009 Scott
enlisted the help of Brayden
Automation to resolve this
problem. Based on their electric load Scott Cummings in front of the 9312
needs, Bill Brayden, President of demand management system
Brayden Automation, suggested an
Energy Sentry 9312 demand management system to solve the problem.
The Simi Valley Church is currently using the 9312 to control their heating and air
conditioning (HVAC). Scott described using the 9312 in October of 2009:
"I just wanted you to know that the KW controller is working great. We have been
using it for over a month now. I just reset the high peak demand and it was at
18.0, which is exactly what I set it at. We had one event at the church where all of
the lights inside and out were on, we were using the kitchen equipment, and it
was 90 degrees outside. All of the AC units ran, but the controller made them take
turns, and we had no complaints. Without the controller, we definitely would have
been over the 20KW limit. I couldn't be happier. The utility company has now put
us back down to the lower GS-1 rate."
With the 9312, the Simi Valley Church will save approximately $2,500 per year
based on the utility company's estimate. This is a significant percentage based on
their average utility bills.

Beyond the cost savings, Scott values
the peace of mind that comes with
using the 9312. "The demand
controller has definitely made my life
easier. It takes care of the demand
limiting automatically so that we don't
have to attempt to watch the
consumption ourselves, which did not
work well."
One of the aspects of the 9312 that
Scott likes is that it is very simple to
use, and works well. "The Brayden
unit did exactly what we wanted,
without paying for more functions that
we did not need."

When working with Brayden Automation, the customer receives individualized
service and products to meet their needs. Because Brayden Automation is a
smaller company, they have more flexibility to achieve what larger companies
can't. Scott noticed this as well. "I guess I was surprised that bigger tech
companies don't offer a controller that is this simple to use to control KW
demand. And to find it at such a reasonable price was a nice surprise."
We're happy to add the Simi Valley Church to our long list of satisfied clients. If
