Claim One:
1. An energy consumption management system comprising: one or more local receivers disposed adjacent a respective one of one or more energy consuming units in a building, each local receiver comprising a processor configured for receiving usage instructions for the adjacent energy consuming unit and causing the usage instructions to be executed for the energy consuming unit; and a central computing system comprising: a memory configured for storing actual usage data associated with at least one energy consuming unit in the building for one or more time windows on each of days i through j, wherein day i is the first day for which data is stored and day j is the most recent day for which data is stored; and a processor configured for: receiving the actual usage data from the memory; executing at least one computer-based learning system to model energy consumption for day j+1 based on at least the actual energy usage data for the energy consumption unit; generating a demand response strategy for the energy consuming unit for day j+1 based on the modeled energy consumption and next-day energy pricing for each time window for day j+1; and communicating the demand response strategy of the energy consuming unit to the local receiver associated with the energy consuming unit, the demand response strategy comprising the usage instructions.
