System and method for monitoring and evaluating equipment operating parameter modifications
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a controller that operates at least one piece of equipment according to a current setpoint value;
a setpoint monitor in communication with said controller that monitors said current setpoint value and compares said current setpoint value with a benchmark setpoint value;
a first terminal in communication with said setpoint monitor, said first terminal outputting said current setpoint value and said benchmark setpoint value and receiving input indicating one of approval of said current setpoint value or rejection of said current setpoint value;
a second terminal in communication with said setpoint monitor, said second terminal outputting an indicator indicating that said current setpoint value has been rejected when said input to said first terminal indicates rejection of said current setpoint value, and said second terminal receiving input indicating one of agreement or disagreement with said rejection of said current setpoint value.

Abstract
A method and system is provided that includes receiving a current setpoint value from a controller that operates at least one piece of equipment according to the current setpoint value, the current setpoint value being set by a first user, comparing the current setpoint value with a benchmark setpoint value, and outputting the current setpoint value and the benchmark setpoint value on a terminal when the current setpoint value is different than the benchmark setpoint value. The method and system also includes receiving, with the terminal, input from a second user indicating one of approval of the current setpoint value or rejection of the current setpoint value, notifying the first user that the current setpoint value has been rejected when the input from the second user indicates rejection of the current setpoint value, and communicating, to the terminal, input from the first user indicating one of agreement or disagreement with the rejection of the current setpoint value.
