1. A method of optimising energy consumption in a building having a building management system (BMS), the BMS being used to monitor the environmental conditions of the building and control the heating system of the building, the method comprising the steps of:

  • gathering the building environmental conditions data;

    gathering weather data relevant to the building;

    applying a plurality of intelligent control techniques to the building environmental conditions data and the weather data;

    calculating a proposed BMS control input for each intelligent control technique;

    determining the accuracy of the proposed BMS control input for each of the intelligent control techniques and thereafter determining an appropriate control input for the BMS; and

    providing the appropriate control input to the BMS for subsequent implementation by the BMS.
