A resource consumption management system for an environment, measures resource use and occupancy. A location system tracks the location of individuals in the environment. Users are able to log preference values 230 for the level at which resource consuming devices such as lights and temperature controls are running and those preference values are taken into account by a building management system in controlling the resource consuming devices at the tracked location of the individuals. Where the resource is energy, the system can show an individual the real time carbon footprint of energy usage in the environment at an individual level. Importantly, the individual can also see a real impact on carbon footprint that might be made by changes in preference values. Further, comparisons can be made between an environment and a reference measure of resource consumption such as that of another floor or another building. |
