Patent ID: 8880226

Claim:
A system comprising: one or more computer processors configured to: receive an energy demand response schedule, one or more user preferences, and one or more predicted environmental variables; generate an optimized energy schedule as a function of the demand response schedule, the user preferences, and the predicted environmental variables, the optimized energy schedule comprising one or more of a set point temperature variation in one or more zones, an air handling unit set point temperature variation, a chilled water set point temperature variation, a carbon dioxide level set point variation, a pre-cooling time shift, a pre-cooling duration variation, and a load based optimized chiller schedule; transmit the optimized energy schedule to a building management server; and periodically generate an optimized energy schedule by adjusting the set point temperature variation in the one or more zones as a function of the rate of change of a temperature of the one or more zones, and by adjusting the carbon dioxide level set point variation as a function of a rate of change of a carbon dioxide level.
