1. A computer based monitoring system for collecting, analyzing and presenting temperature information from sensors associated with an HVAC system, the system comprising:

  • a network;

    a wireless gateway in communication with the network, the wireless gateway receiving electrical signals from a plurality of sensors being used to sense temperature information;

    a processor in communication with the network for communicating with the plurality of sensors via the wireless gateway and obtaining temperature data in the form of electrical signals being reported by each of the sensors;

    a graphical user interface (GUI) module embodied in a non-transient processor readable medium and configured to run on a computing device having a display screen, the GUI module configured to generate in real time a graphic on the display screen pertaining to data obtained from the sensors by the processor, the graphic including;

    a first component having a first indicia indicating a first subportion of the plurality of sensors that are indicating a temperature which is within a predetermined temperature range;

    a second component having a second indicia indicating a second subportion of the plurality of sensors that are indicating a temperature which is below a predetermined lower limit;

    a third component having a third indicia indicating a third subportion of the plurality of sensors that are indicating a temperature which is above a predetermined upper limit; and

    wherein the first component, the second component and the third component are all integrated for simultaneous display into at least one of;

    a bar graph;

    ora circular dial graph; and

    wherein the GUI module of the system uses information supplied by the processor to determine and present different types of numerical information at different locations around the first, second and third components, such that the different types of numerical information are located adjacent associated ones of the first, second and third components, depending on the dimensions of the first, second and third components, and moved in accordance with changing dimensions of the first, second and third components, to help control operation of the HVAC system.
