1. An energy use optimization tool comprising logic to:
- receive inventory information relating to a plurality of customer devices;
store the inventory information;
calculate an estimated energy cost associated with the plurality of customer devices based on the received inventory information;
calculate energy savings or environmental impact information based on energy savings or environmental impact information associated with available service offerings compared to the estimated energy cost; and
output the calculated energy savings or environmental impact information to a user.

Abstract
An energy use optimization tool includes logic to receive inventory information relating to a plurality of customer devices and store the inventory information. The logic calculates an estimated energy cost associated with the plurality of customer devices based on the received inventory information. The logic also calculates energy savings or environmental impact information based on energy savings or environmental impact information associated with available service offerings compared to the estimated energy cost. The calculated energy savings or environmental impact information is output to a user.

15. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
retrieving, from a first database, inventory information relating to a plurality of customer devices, wherein the plurality of customer devices are associated with a geographic location; retrieving, from a second database, energy cost information associated with the geographic location; calculating an estimated energy cost associated with the plurality of customer devices based on the inventory information and the energy cost information; identifying a service offering associated with the plurality of customer devices; calculating an estimated service offering energy cost based on energy cost information associated with the identified service offering; calculating an energy cost savings based on the estimated service offering energy cost compared to the estimated energy cost; and outputting, to a user, the calculated energy cost savings to a user via a graphical user interface. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
-
receive inventory information relating to a plurality of customer devices; receive a request for energy cost savings information based on the plurality of customer devices and a selected service offering; calculate first estimated energy cost information associated with the plurality of customer devices based on the received inventory information; calculate second estimated energy cost information associated with the plurality of customer devices after implementation of the selected service offering; calculate the energy cost savings information based on the first estimated energy cost savings information compared to the second estimated energy cost savings information; and output the calculated energy cost savings information to a user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
