Abstract: The harvesting of energy credits due to the transformation of a real estate property. The transformation results in improved energy usage of the real estate property, resulting in energy credits being earned by the owner of the real estate property. The energy credits are obtained by monitoring the power usage of the real estate property before the transformation, and after the transformation. An entity other than the owner of the real estate property facilitates the transformation by providing products or instructions that help make the transformation, or perhaps even by the entity taking at least partially responsibility for making the transformation. In consideration for the facilitation of the transformation, the entity receives at least a portion of the energy credits that result from the transformation.

Abstract: A reactance (capacitive and/or inductive) module that may be connected to an electrical power system of a real estate property such as a residential or commercial property. If the electrical power system has a net reactance power that is degrading a power factor of the electrical power system, the reactance module may compensate at least in part for this net reactance power by turning on and off various reactance banks. For instance, net inductance can be compensated for by turning capacitive banks on and off An external monitoring entity may receive remote communications from the reactive bank, allowing the external entity to track energy savings, energy credits, and perhaps even control the reactance module to improve power factor.
