SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES IN A BUILDING

摘要

A set of energy use model parameters for each of a plurality of buildings is used to determine a typical set of energy use model parameters for the plurality of buildings. A distance between the typical set of energy use model parameters and the set of energy use model parameters for each of the plurality of buildings is determined. Each distance is compared to a critical value. A building is identified as a candidate for energy conservation measures in response to the distance for the building exceeding the critical value. Energy conservation measures are implemented in the identified building. Implementing energy conservation measures may include replacing existing HVAC equipment in the identified building with new energy-efficient HVAC equipment.

1. A system for implementing energy conservation measures in a building, the system comprising:
HVAC equipment installed within the building; and a processing circuit operable to:
receive a set of energy use model parameters for each of a plurality of buildings;determine a typical set of energy use model parameters for the plurality of buildings;determine a distance between the typical set of energy use model parameters and the set of energy use model parameters for each of the plurality of buildings;compare each distance to a critical value; andidentify a building as a candidate for energy conservation measures in response to the distance for the building exceeding the critical value; wherein the HVAC equipment is replaced with new energy-efficient HVAC equipment in response to identifying the building as a candidate for energy conservation measures.
