Dashboard for monitoring energy consumption and demand

摘要

A system for presenting a utility consumption dashboard. The dashboard may have one or more panes for displaying energy or other utility consumption related information. A pane may indicate utility consumption and time periods of consumption. Data of utility consumption may be shown in terms of years, quarters or months, for different types of utility consumption such as electrical, gas, and so forth. Utility consumption may be noted in various contexts. Another pane may provide daily patterns related to utility consumption. Still another pane may provide a scatter plot of data points relating to utility consumption and temperature outside of the space. Dynamic interaction, including analysis, may involve utility consumption, time period, and temperature outside the space. A data or information point in any of the panes may be selected to reveal a tool tip that highlights details about the point.

1. A utility consumption dashboard system comprising:
a display; a processor connected to the display; and a utility consumption dashboard generated on the display by the processor; and wherein: the utility consumption dashboard comprises one or more panes; a first pane of the one or more panes comprises a view of utility consumption by a space versus date time period; and a second pane of the one or more panes comprises a view of a plot of utility consumption versus a context variable over one or more increments of the date time period, where the one or more increments of the date time period are selected in the first pane; a third pane of the one or more panes, wherein the third pane comprises a calendar view of the utility consumption over the one or more increments of the date time period selected in the first pane and a selection of one or more data points in the view of the plot drives the calendar view; the first pane, the second pane, and the third pane are displayed simultaneously on the utility consumption dashboard; the context variable is selected from a group consisting of air temperature outside the space, sales volume, production rates, space population density and another context variable that impacts utility consumption.
