ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An energy management system comprising:
- a control and uplink module adapted to selectively monitor and control at least one energy consuming device, the control and uplink module in communication with an electronic storage device and adapted to transmit data to the electronic storage device;
a sensor in communication with the control and uplink module, wherein the sensor is adapted to execute a pre-configured measurement and transmit a signal to the control and uplink module representative of the measurement; and
an interface adapted for the entry of at least one operational parameter to the control and uplink module, wherein at least one of the signal from the sensor and the operational parameter is employed by the control and uplink module to facilitate an operation of the energy consuming device.
