Claim 13:
14. A building manager comprising:
a communications interface configured to receive time-of-use information from a smart energy grid; and
a database storing a stored ontology comprising representations of relationships between a plurality of building spaces and a plurality of building subsystems or devices;
a processing circuit configured to receive inputs from the plurality of building subsystems or devices and provide outputs to the plurality of building subsystems or devices, the processing circuit providing a plurality of control algorithm modules configured to process the inputs and to determine the outputs;
wherein the processing circuit is configured to process the time-of-use information received from the smart energy grid to generate load shedding decisions for the plurality of building subsystems or devices using the stored ontology;
wherein the processing circuit is configured to use the load shedding decisions to generate control signals for the plurality of building subsystems or devices and provide the control signals as the outputs to the plurality of building subsystems or devices.
