Abstract: An web-bridged energy and facilities management system and method is provided wherein a user of an individual system may be automatically logged into multiple different systems. The system also permits data from many individual sites to be accumulated at a single site, data from one site to be distributed to many sites and a pyramid arrangement to be used. The system permits individual energy management sites to be connected together using the web bridge.

Abstract: An energy and facilities management system and method is provided for energy users with large physical plants which provides these energy users with a comprehensive understanding of the energy consumption of their physical plant and with the ability to manage it in a way that makes sense for their business. The system may include three dimensional facilities navigation tools, powerfill energy consumption analysis processes, TCP/IP communication capabilities and a World Wide Web (WWW)-based interface. The system also includes a real-time data retrieval and dissemination process and system which permits real-time energy data to be communicated within the system.
