1. A set-point monitoring system comprising:
- a monitor in communication with a controller associated with at least one piece of equipment operating at an associated set-point, and monitoring a present value of said associated set-point, comparing said present value to a previous value of said associated set-point, and recording said present value if different than said previous value.

Abstract
A system for monitoring equipment operating parameters of a remote system includes a monitor that communicates with a controller of the remote system, and at least one piece of equipment operable within the remote system, and that communicates with the controller. The equipment has at least one associated operating parameter. The monitor compares a present value of the associated operating parameter to a previous value to determine a difference therebetween. The difference is associated with a cost, measuring the cost of operating the equipment at the present operating parameter.

19. A method comprising:
-
monitoring set-points associated with equipment of a plurality of remote systems;
comparing present values of said set-points to corresponding previous values;
indicating respective changes if said present values are different than said previous values;
recording said present values if said present values are different than said previous values; and
communicating said present values and said previous values of said set-points to a monitoring system. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

37. A method comprising:
-
monitoring respective operating parameters of multiple types of equipment;
comparing a present value of each said respective operating parameter to a previous value for each type of equipment;
determining a difference between each respective value; and
associating a monetary value with said difference. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49)
