First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method of managing energy usage, said method comprising:
- accessing an energy usage rule for a device, wherein said device is coupled with a first structure;
monitoring an energy usage of said device;
comparing said energy usage rule and said energy usage; and
based on said comparing, generating an instruction to modify an energy usage profile of said device to correlate with said energy usage rule, thereby enabling efficient energy management.

Abstract
Accessing an energy usage rule for a device is described, wherein the device is coupled with a first structure. The energy usage of the device is monitored. The energy usage rule and the energy usage is then compared. Based on the comparing, an instruction is generated to modify an energy usage profile of said device to correlate with said energy usage, thereby enabling efficient energy management.
