Abstract: An energy information system and sub-measurement board for use therewith allows an energy information service provider to measure energy usage at a customer location. The sub-measurement board is connected to an energy distribution panel located at the customer location and measures energy usage of individual circuits of the distribution panel. The sub-measurement board outputs a load profile that is accessible by the customer. The sub-measurement board receives three three-phase voltages and nine single-phase currents. The voltages and currents are compared to the voltages and currents of the same individual circuit of the distribution panel to calculate the load profile of the individual circuits. A utility meter can be connected to the sub-measurement board and output electric pulses thereto which the sub-measurement board uses to calculate cumulative periodic consumption data of the metered utility.

Abstract: An energy information system and sub-measurement board for use therewith allows an energy information service provider to measure energy usage at a customer location. The sub-measurement board is connected to an energy distribution panel located at the customer location and measures energy usage of individual circuits of the distribution panel. The sub-measurement board outputs a load profile of the energy usage and transmits the load profile to the energy information service provider via a wide area network (WAN). The load profile is processed by the energy service provider and posted on a server for access by the customer. The sub-measurement board is capable of receiving three three-phase voltages and nine single-phase currents. The voltages and currents are input into a microprocessor circuit which compares the currents one at a time to the voltages to match the current with the voltage of the same individual circuit of the distribution panel.

Abstract: A method and computer architecture monitoring resource usage via a global computer network. The computer architecture may include a resource-metering data recorder/translator unit having a global computer network node and, in operation, recording resource usage measured by and associated resource meter. The computer architecture further includes a database and at least one global computer network server, in operation, storing resource usage data recorded by the data recorder/translator unit in the database, receiving a resource usage data query from a user, calling the database for resource usage data relevant to the user, and presenting resource management information based on the relevant resource usage data via a global computer network site to the user.

Abstract: The invention provides a method, system, and computer program device for cost estimation relating to utility usage and utility billing. Utility information concerning usage of utilities is collected, and a report is provided of actual and/or estimated usage and/or cost of utility resources. Information is stored relating to customers, one or more utilities relating to the customer, as well as a variety of rules that may be applied by the utilities for the customers, depending on various situations, in determining the utility information and the costs thereof. Measurement related information and/or estimate related information is collected, representative of the utility usage and the estimated usage by the customer(s). A user may selected one or more preferences representative of a variable, which are utilized in generating the utility information for the user.
