System and method for diagnostically evaluating energy consumption systems and components of a facility
First Claim
1. A method for diagnostically evaluating energy consumption of a facility, comprising:
- receiving energy consumption data associated with the facility;
generating facility data associated with the facility;
receiving external variable data associated with the facility corresponding to the energy consumption data;
generating a first energy consumption model for the facility using the facility data, the energy consumption data, and the external variable data, the first energy consumption model corresponding to actual energy consumption of the facility;
generating a second energy consumption model for the facility using the facility data and the external variable data, the second energy consumption model corresponding to expected energy consumption of the facility; and
diagnostically evaluating the energy consumption of the facility using the first and second energy consumption models.

Abstract
A method for diagnostically evaluating energy consumption of a facility includes receiving energy consumption data associated with the facility, generating facility data associated with the facility, and receiving external variable data associated with the facility corresponding to the energy consumption data. The method also includes generating a first energy consumption model for the facility using the facility data, the energy consumption data, and the external variable data. The first energy consumption model corresponds to actual energy consumption of the facility. The method further includes generating a second energy consumption model for the facility using the facility data and the external variable data. The second energy consumption model corresponds to expected energy consumption of the facility. The method also includes diagnostically evaluating the energy consumption of the facility using the first and second energy consumption models.
