First Claim
1. A grading system comprising:
- a first tracking module that increments a first period of time when a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system of a building is ON during a predetermined period of time;
a second tracking module that increments a second period of time when, during the predetermined period of time;
(i) the HVAC system is ON and (ii) a split temperature of the HVAC system is outside of a temperature range of the HVAC system;
a grade determination module that determines a grade of the HVAC system for the predetermined period of time based on both the first period of time and the second period of time; and
a reporting module that generates a displayable report for the HVAC system for the predetermined period of time, the report including the grade of the HVAC system for the predetermined period of time.

Abstract
A first tracking module increments a first period of time when a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system of a building is ON during a predetermined period of time. A second tracking module increments a second period of time when, during the predetermined period of time: (i) the HVAC system is ON and (ii) a split temperature of the HVAC system is outside of a temperature range of the HVAC system. A grade determination module determines a grade of the HVAC system for the predetermined period of time based on both the first period of time and the second period of time. A reporting module generates a displayable report for the HVAC system for the predetermined period of time. The report includes the grade of the HVAC system for the predetermined period of time.
