1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- providing a graphical user interface via a display device, the graphical user interface being operative to display a plurality of selections, a first of the selections being associated with a first business rule, a second of the selections being associated with a second business rule;
automatically monitoring;
an environmental parameter of a first environment; and
at least one operational parameter of equipment associated with the first environment, the operational parameter being based at least in part on energy consumption of the equipment;
receiving, via a communication network, information corresponding to a user selection at the user interface, the user selection corresponding to the first business rule;
automatically determining operating settings for the equipment, via computer processor-executed instructions, based at least in part on, the information received and the at least one operational parameter, the equipment being operative to alter the environmental parameter; and
automatically instructing, via the communication network, the equipment to implement the first business rule by operating at the settings being determined;
wherein, responsive to receiving the information corresponding to a user selection corresponding to the second business rule, the equipment is automatically instructed, via the communication network, to alter the operating settings to implement the second business rule.

12. A control system, comprising:
-
a user interface configured to receive a user input representing selection of a business rule as a selected business rule from a plurality of business rules represented by the user interface, the plurality of business rules including at least a first business rule and a second business rule; a determining component configured to determine settings for a first asset of a first environment communicating according to a first protocol and settings for a second asset of a second environment communicating according to a second protocol, the settings being based at least in part on a plurality of monitored parameters of the first environment and the second environment relating to environmental conditions such that the settings enforce the selected business rule from among the plurality of business rules; and a sending component configured to send a signal to the first asset and the second asset to implement the selected business rule; wherein, responsive to the user input representing the selection of the first business rule as the selected business rule, the determining component determines settings for the first asset and the second asset to enforce the first business rule and, responsive to the user input corresponding to the second business rule as the selected business rule, the determining component determines settings for the first asset and the second asset to enforce the second business rule. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24)

21. A control system, comprising:
-
means for providing a user interface configured to receive a user input indicating selection of a business rule as a selected business rule from a plurality of business rules represented by the user interface, the plurality of business rules including at least a first business rule and a second business rule; means for determining settings for a first asset and a second asset, the settings being based at least in part on a plurality of monitored parameters of a first environment and a second environment respectively associated with the first asset and the second asset such that the settings enforce the selected business rule from among the plurality of business rules; in the event the first environment and the second environment are located within a building, means for sending a signal to the plurality of assets to implement the selected business rule such that the first asset and the second asset operate to implement the selected business rule within the building; and in the event the first environment is located within a building and the second environment is located other than within the building, means for sending a signal to the plurality of assets to implement the selected business rule such that the first asset and the second asset operate to implement the selected business rule within the building and the other than within the building, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)
