Patent ID: 10951028

Abstract:
A method for performing validation, estimation, and editing (VEE), including: employing HVAC subsystems to adjust comfort in a building; performing VEE on energy consumption streams; executing VEE rules on each of the streams to generate and store a corresponding post VEE readings, the post VEE readings comprising tagged energy consumption data sets each associated with a corresponding one of the streams, each of the data sets comprising first groups of contiguous interval values tagged as having been validated and second groups of contiguous interval values tagged as having been edited, the first groups of contiguous interval values corresponding to correct data; for the each of the data sets, creating anomalies having different durations using only the first groups of contiguous interval values; generating estimates for the anomalies by employing estimation techniques; for each of the durations, selecting one of the estimation techniques for subsequent employment when performing VEE of subsequent energy consumption data for the corresponding one of the streams; and executing functions on the streams translated by the generating and directing one or more of the HVAC subsystems to change state, where the comfort is adjusted in accordance with building energy consumption.
