Claim One:
1. A method for optimizing energy consumption, the method comprising: generating, with an energy optimization device, an energy model for each of a plurality of sites in an enterprise network; determining, with the energy optimization device, a plurality of service windows for each of the plurality of sites; generating, with the energy optimization device, an energy consumption forecast for each of the plurality of sites based on the generated energy models and the determined service windows; obtaining, with the energy optimization device, current energy consumption information for one of the plurality of sites; determining, with the energy optimization device, one or more optimization recommendations for the one of the plurality of sites based on a deviation of the obtained current energy consumption information for the one of the plurality of sites from the generated energy consumption forecast for the one of the plurality of sites in an active one of the determined service windows for the one of the plurality of sites; and outputting, with the energy optimization device, the one or more optimization recommendations.
