1. A mechanism for determining device participation in an energy management program, comprising:

  • a network operations center (NOC), that commands one or more energy control devices to change one or more states responsive to energy management program events, wherein said one or more energy control devices respond to said NOC to indicate changed one or more states; and

    a device accountability system, coupled to said NOC, that intercepts commands/responses from/to said NOC, and that creates a time-correlated model comprising program participation parameters for each of said one or more energy control devices, wherein said time-correlated model is based upon message characteristics for said commands/responses, communications network and transport layer operating characteristics, device data for said one or more energy control devices, and NOC data corresponding to said energy management program events and operator intervention events.
