System and Method for Remote Monitoring and Controlling of Facility Energy Consumption
First Claim
1. A system for remote monitoring and controlling of energy consumption of a facility, comprising:
- a processor;
a database coupled to the processor, the database operable to receive and store energy consumption data associated with the facility;
a memory coupled to the processor;
an analysis engine residing in the memory and executable by the processor, the analysis engine operable to evaluate the energy consumption data and determine whether energy consumption operating parameters require modification to increase efficiency; and
a control engine residing in the memory and executable by the processor, the control engine operable to initiate operating parameter modification of an energy consumption system of the facility in response to a desired operating parameter modification.

Abstract
A method for remote monitoring and controlling of energy consumption of a facility includes receiving energy consumption data associated with the facility at a processor disposed remotely from the facility. The method also includes receiving environmental data associated with the facility. The method includes determining whether an operating parameter of an energy consumption system of the facility requires modification to increase efficiency using the energy consumption data and the environmental data. The method further includes automatically modifying the operating parameter of the energy consumption system corresponding to the required modification.
