METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTEGRAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT OF BUILDINGS
First Claim
1. An EMM (Energy Monitoring and Management) client for energy management of a building, the EMM client disposed in a building and connected to a EMM control system at remote location over a network, comprising:
- an operation information collection unit configured to collect operation information of energy-consuming equipments in the building;
an environment information collection unit configured to collect environment information generated from environment sensors in the building;
a user interface unit configured to input an operation plans of the building;
an interworking interface unit configured to interwork with the EMM control system voer the network;
a data processing unit configured to process the information provided from the operation information collection unit, the environment information collection unit, and the user interface unit and transmitting the processed data to the EMM control system through the interworking interface unit and receiving an optimum energy operation program from the EMM control system; and
an equipment control unit controlling the energy-consuming equipments in conformity with the optimum energy operation program.

Abstract
An EMM (Energy Monitoring and Management) control system performs energy management of buildings, each building having an EMM client disposed therein. The EMM control system includes an EMM server configured to receive operation information of energy-consuming equipments in the building and information related to energy and environment of the building from the EMM client to perform a function of analyzing/taking statistics/reporting for the operation information, and energy and environment information, an EOM (Energy Optimization and Maintenance) server configured to derive an optimum energy operation program through energy evaluation index and simulation from the information provided from the EMM client and providing the optimum energy operation program to the EMM client.
