Abstract

An energy management system and method providing a holistic premise energy optimization and energy efficiency reclamation system comprised of an interconnected system of software, analytics and automated process that optimizes the energy generation and storage technologies, energy consumption, energy demand and energy utilization of energy consuming assets within a premise.

Claims

1. An energy management system comprising:

a remotely-located computer configured to receive energy consumption data from at least one energy consumption controller associated with a respective electrical component;

a control center communicatively coupled to the remotely-located computer and configured to perform data analysis operations using the energy consumption data and previously stored data to generate instructions for controlling the respective electrical component,

wherein the previously stored data includes data unrelated to the energy consumption data.
