ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

An energy management system (12) and method is provided for energy users with large physical plants (14) which provides these energy users with a comprehensive understanding of the energy consumption of their physical plant (14) and with the ability to manage it in a way that makes sense for their business. The system (12) may include three-dimensional facilities navigation tools, powerful energy consumption analysis processes, TCP/IP communication capabilities and a World Wide Web (WWW)-based interface. The system (12) also includes a real-time data retrieval and dissemination process and system which permits real-time energy data to be communicated within the system (12).
