A responsive load system with improved responsiveness through reducing or eliminating the impact of dead times of thermal loads is disclosed. The responsive load system comprises at least a first and a second thermal load controlled by means of local control loops in response to at least one local thermostat. A server stores information relating to the dead times of the thermal loads and may intervene in the operation of the responsive load; this may comprise overriding the local control loop of the first thermal load so as to advance or delay its dead time so that it does not entirely coincide with the dead time of the second thermal load. |
