Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention includes a computer-implemented method comprising receiving energy information indicating an excess or deficiency of available energy for consumption by an energy consumer during a particular time period, generating energy utilization scenarios, where each energy utilization scenario models how energy is consumed by energy utilization systems under control of the energy management application over the time period, generating cost data based on each of the one or more energy utilization scenarios; and generating reconfiguration instructions to reconfigure one or more of the energy utilization systems to increase or decrease energy use by the energy consumer.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for enabling the user to guide the synchronization of a source data structure with a target data structure. The guided synchronization stores the operations defined by the user and reapplies them to future synchronizations.

Abstract: A computer running executable code is operative to provide a floor plan for displaying a plurality of data objects. The method includes receiving a user input request for product information and retrieving a plurality of data objects from at least one object database. The object database may be local or remotely connection. The method, as may be implemented on the processing device, further includes recognizing a selected viewable tab of the central display floor plan and generating a visual output display including disposing the one or more data objects in predefined positions. The method includes determining a first object link to a previous output display and including the first object link in the visual output display. Thereby, the floor plan includes displaying the data objects and the dynamic navigation links.
