1. A method for evaluating a fault condition in a building comprising:
- generating, by a processing circuit, an energy consumption model for the building;
using the energy consumption model and input data from different time windows to generate model data;
analyzing the model data to detect a non-routine change in the model data across the different time windows; and
providing an indication of a potential fault condition based on the non-routine change in the model data being detected.

Abstract
A building'"'"'s energy consumption may be modeled using weather data, utility billing data, or other data regarding the building. The resulting model data may be analyzed to detect a shift in the model data, which may indicate the presence of a fault condition. Changes to the model'"'"'s coefficients that would result from an upgrade, energy conservation measure, or other action may also be used to predict the resulting Energy Star score for the building.

25. A method for determining a change to an energy score of a building comprising:
-
generating, by a processing circuit, an energy consumption model for the building; using the energy consumption model and input data regarding the building to calculate baseline model data, the baseline model data being associated with a baseline energy score; receiving an identifier representing a proposed change to the operation of the building, the received identifier being associated with a change to the model data; and calculating an energy score associated with the proposed change using the baseline model data, the change to the model data associated with the proposed change, and the baseline energy score. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
