1. A computer system for use with a building management system in a building, comprising:
- a processing circuit configured to use historical data received from the building management system to automatically select a set of variables estimated to be significant to energy usage in the building;
wherein the processing circuit is further configured to apply a regression analysis to the selected set of variables to generate a baseline model for predicting energy usage in the building.
