ADOPTIVE MONITORING AND REPORTING OF RESOURCE UTILIZATION AND EFFICIENCY
First Claim
1. A method of generating for display on a computer device, a resource utilization and efficiency value of a residence or business comprising:
- monitoring at least one energy using device associated with an environment for obtaining operating data in a predetermined time interval;
analyzing said operating data obtained during said predetermined interval of time for obtaining a value of energy used by said at least one energy using device;
calculating an efficiency value from the value of energy used during the predetermined interval of time; and
creating, based on said efficiency value, a computer generated image that represents said calculated efficiency value for the predetermined interval of time for display on the computer screen,using a processor to perform one or more of said analyzing, calculating and creating steps.
