Abstract: A system for operating a plurality of energy consuming devices is provided. The system includes a database storing at least one device driver. The at least one device driver is for operating at least one device controller. At least one of the device drivers includes a database layer interface and a device layer interface. The system also includes a network interface coupling the database with a network. The network is coupled to the at least one device controller, and the database is adapted to transmit the device layer interface over the network to the at least one device controller. The at least one device controller controls a first energy consuming device of the plurality of energy consuming devices. A method for operating a plurality of energy consuming devices is provided that includes storing in a database at least one device driver.

Abstract: A system for operating a plurality of energy consuming devices is provided that includes a plurality of device drivers coupled to respective device controllers. Each device controller is associated with a corresponding one of the energy consuming devices, and each device controller includes at least one sensor and is adapted to modulate an output setting of the corresponding energy consuming device. The system also includes a processor coupled to the plurality of device drivers and adapted to cause each of the plurality of device drivers to periodically receive data from the respective one of the device controllers. The system further includes a display interface coupled to the processor and to a display. The display interface is adapted to transmit data to the display. A non-transitory computer readable medium having recorded thereon a program is provided. An apparatus for analyzing data from a plurality of energy consuming devices is provided.
