Smart energy scheduling of hvac system during on-peak hours

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• obtaining, by one or more computers and for each monitored property of a set of monitored properties in a geographic area and electrically connected to a utility power grid, a corresponding duty cycle for the monitored property;
• determining, by the one or more computers and for an event for the set of monitored properties, a plurality of runtime offsets, each runtime offset of the plurality of runtime offsets to adjust a timing of an on-time of the duty cycle of a respective monitored property of the at least some of the set of monitored properties, wherein at least one monitored property of the set of monitored properties has a runtime offset different from at least one other monitored property of the set of monitored properties;
• providing, by the one or more computers and to at least some of the set of monitored properties, instructions based on a runtime offset of the plurality of runtime offsets and to the monitored property of the set of monitored properties to adjust the timing of the on-time of the duty cycle for the monitored property.

One or more non-transitory computer storage media encoded with computer program instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining, by one or more computers and for each monitored property of a set of monitored properties in a geographic area and electrically connected to a utility power grid, a corresponding duty cycle for the monitored property;
• determining, by the one or more computers and for an event for the set of monitored properties, a plurality of runtime offsets, each runtime offset of the plurality of runtime offsets to adjust a timing of an on-time of the duty cycle of a respective monitored property of the at least some of the set of monitored properties, wherein at least one monitored property of the set of monitored properties has a runtime offset different from at least one other monitored property of the set of monitored properties;
• providing, by the one or more computers and to at least some of the set of monitored properties, instructions based on a runtime offset of the plurality of runtime offsets and to the monitored property of the set of monitored properties to adjust the timing of the on-time of the duty cycle for the monitored property.
