Claim One:
1. An apparatus for generating a day-ahead building asset model to determine operation parameters and/or operating schedules for at least one building asset, the apparatus comprising: at least one communication interface; at least one memory to store processor-executable instructions and a day-ahead building asset model; and at least one processing unit communicatively coupled to the at least one communication interface and the at least one memory, wherein, upon execution of the processor-executable instructions, the at least one processing unit: A) determines the operation parameters and/or operating schedules for at least one building asset using the day-ahead building asset model; wherein the day-ahead model is a self-tuning energy asset model that adapt itself to the conditions of the at least one building asset; and B) controls the at least one communication interface to transmit to the energy customer the determined operation parameters and/or operating schedules, wherein the day-ahead building asset model is used to generate operation parameters and operating schedules for at least one building asset based at least in part on at least one operation characteristic of the building asset, and wherein input to the day-ahead building asset model includes at least one operation characteristic of the building asset.
