Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored contents that configure one or more computing systems of an HVAC provisioning service to perform a method, the method comprising:
operating one or more configured computing systems of an energy optimization portal (EOP);
receiving, at the one or more configured computing systems of the EOP, customer data associated with at least one site, the at least one site having at least one commercial building, the at least one commercial building having a building automation system (BAS) that directs operations of a plurality of HVAC components;
receiving at the one or more configured computing systems of the EOP from an energy optimization control engine (EOCE) computing system:
a first data set identifying the plurality of HVAC components;
a second data set including operational control parameters for each of the plurality of HVAC components; and
a third data set including measured operations data associated with each of the plurality of HVAC components;

detecting whether a new HVAC component has been added to the commercial building; and
based on the detection of the new HVAC component:
updating the first data set, second data set, and third data set based on the addition of the HVAC component;
generating by the one or more configured computing systems of the EOP an energy optimized operating control platform based on the first, second, and third data sets, wherein instructions included in the energy optimized operating control platform are used by an EOCE to cooperatively control each of the plurality of HVAC components via directives passed from the EOCE computing system to the BAS, the energy optimized operating control platform including configuration settings for each of the plurality of HVAC components;
generating by the one or more configured computing systems of the EOP a points list, the points list including programmable parameter data for at least some of the plurality of HVAC components;
generating by the one or more configured computing systems of the EOP a work list, the work list including directives that guide an interactive configuration wizard executing on the EOCE computing system; and
communicating the energy optimized operating control platform, the points list, and the work list from the one or more configured computing systems of the EOP to the EOCE computing system, wherein the EOCE computing system:
causes the operation of the plurality of HVAC components to be optimized by automatically installing the configuration settings onto the plurality of HVAC components, the plurality of HVAC components being caused to be operated in accordance with the installed configuration settings; and
causes the BAS to be optimized by automatically installing the configuration settings onto the BAS, such that the operations of the BAS for operating the plurality of HVAC components are able to be overridden by the EOCE computing system.
