Mall: DG Burn on Hot Low-Footfall AfternoonsPREVIEW

Diesel generators run hardest when footfall is lowest. Heat is the villain.

30-SEC BRIEF
Diesel generators burn hardest during
afternoon peak heat when customer footfall
is lowest. Generators serve cooling load
even with minimal occupancy. Heat is the
operational villain.
2-MIN SUMMARY
Shopping malls in India operate diesel
generators because grid power unreliable
during peak summer heat. Generator load
heaviest during afternoon peak heat when
customer footfall drops lowest. Perverse
economics: maximum energy cost at minimum
revenue time. Thermopod™ Biothermal
Microconditioning reduces cooling load
backup generators must serve. DG runtime
drops and fuel consumption per month
decreases significantly. Return on
investment typically under 2 years in
malls with high DG burn rates. Operational
cost drops immediately. Environmental
impact improves measurably. Biothermal
Microconditioning is Easy Retrofit for
mall expansions existing common areas.
