Patent ID: 7356548

Claim:
A system for remote monitoring and controlling of energy consumption of a facility, comprising: a processor; a memory coupled to the processor; a database coupled to the processor, the database operable to: receive and store one or more reduced storage intensive values from a facility when a predetermined event has not occurred, the one or more reduced storage intensive values acquired at a predetermined rate and processed to a reduced form that represents energy consumption information for a period of time, and receive and store event analysis information from the facility when a predetermined event has occurred, the event analysis information acquired at the predetermined rate and preserved to include energy consumption information before the predetermined event and energy consumption information collected after the predetermined event; an analysis engine residing in the memory and executable by the processor, the analysis engine operable to: evaluate the one or more reduced storage intensive values and the event analysis information, and determine whether energy consumption operating parameters require modification to increase efficiency; and a control engine residing in the memory and executable by the processor, the control engine operable to initiate operating parameter modification of an energy consumption system of the facility in response to a desired operating parameter modification.
