Abstract: An energy information management system and a computer-implemented method of managing energy information are disclosed. The computer-implemented method may include receiving energy use data based upon the energy consumption of one or more facilities, associating the energy use data with one or more facility types based upon characteristics of the one or more facilities to which the energy use data is related, and storing the energy use data in a database. Each facility type may be determined based upon at least one of an owner, location, size, age, use, operating schedule, lighting, water use, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment of the facility to which the energy use data is related. The energy information management system may include one or more sources of energy use data which generate data signals, a server, and a browser-enabled user device.

Abstract: An energy management system and a computer-implemented method of managing energy consumption are disclosed. The computer-implemented method may include receiving one or more input signals which represent the real-time energy consumption of a facility, evaluating data obtained from the one or more input signals according to a set of energy operating rules, and generating output signals which cause a user to be alerted to the energy consumption of the facility. In some embodiments, evaluating data obtained from the one or more input signals according to a set of energy operating rules may include comparing the obtained data to predetermined or adaptive ranges or thresholds. The ranges or thresholds may be based upon at least one of an operational schedule of the facility, physical characteristics of the facility, energy-sensitive variables, customer-imposed targets, and energy supplier demand reduction requests.
