Claim 0:
1. A building manager comprising:
a communications interface configured to receive time-of-use information from a smart energy grid; and
a processing circuit configured to receive inputs from a plurality of building subsystems or devices and provide outputs to the plurality of building subsystems or devices using a plurality of control algorithm modules configured to process the inputs and to determine the outputs, wherein the plurality of building subsystems or devices comprise energy storage equipment;
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 comprising determining when to utilize energy from the energy storage equipment, determine an amount of greenhouse gas emissions corresponding to the load shedding decisions, and convert the amount of greenhouse gas emissions into tradable carbon credits;
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.
