  • Methods and system for reducing energy use in buildings
    Patent number: 11061376
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for reducing energy use in buildings. A data centre receives source data from one or more building systems and/or one or more external sources. A plurality of energy optimization strategies are applied to at least a subset of the source data to determine a set of proposed output values for each energy optimization strategy, independently of each other, wherein each set of proposed output values includes at least one equipment set point. Conflicts between the sets of proposed output values are resolved, to generate a set of harmonized output values. The set of harmonized output values is transmitted to the one or more building control systems through one or more gateway devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 10, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 13, 2021
    Assignee: Mariner Partners Inc.
    Inventors: Charles L. Holleran, Andrea Curry, Dan O'Connor, Tim Aske, Gary Ogden, Brock Sansom
