Described herein are methods and systems, including computer program products, for optimizing and controlling the energy consumption of a building. A first computing device generates a set of thermal response coefficients for the building based on energy characteristics of the building and weather data associated with the location of the building. The first computing device predicts an energy response of the building based on the set of thermal response coefficients and forecasted weather associated with the location of the building. The first computing device selects minimal energy requirements of the building based on an energy consumption cost associated with the building. The first computing device determines one or more temperature set points for the building based on the energy response and the minimal energy requirements. The first computing device transmits the one or more temperature set points to a thermostat of the building.

Energy management method and process using analytic metrics.
InactiveUS20050240427A1Minimize operating costImprove their bottom lineElectric devicesSpecial tariff metersCumulative costEnergy management
A method and process provides an approach to optimizing energy costs or any similar fungible, consumable commodity in real time use by defining and utilizing a novel analytic metric based on the ratio of the actual cumulative cost of the commodity used compared to the absolute minimum cost of the commodity during the time period under consideration. The historical energy management approach uses the price of the commodity and then tries to lower the total cost of energy use during the most expensive time periods. It may not be possible with the existing energy management techniques to be able to meet all the operational requirements of the user and still have the minimum cost of use. As a result of this invention, the user can be guaranteed the optimal energy use at the absolute minimum cost, and if the minimum is not achievable the invention allows the user to quantify how efficient his operation is, compared to the theoretical optimum. The use of a new metric called the Energy Performance Index (EPI) allows this comparison to be made across all energy use platforms. Substantial increases in efficiency, performance and economics can be achieved with this invention.

Brushless DC motor control
ActiveUS7053583B1Optimizing response timeOptimize energy useMotor/generator/converter stoppersSynchronous motors startersDc motor controlFixed position
A method and control system to control a brushless DC motor to a preferred position is provided. The advantages that accrue to a system employing the method and apparatus to control the brushless DC motor to a preferred position include optimizing response time, energy usage, coil heating, and ability to hold to a fix position. The method to control the brushless DC motor to a position comprises monitoring actual position of the brushless DC motor, monitoring energy used by the brushless DC motor, and determining a commanded position of the brushless DC motor. A zero torque commutation method is employed to control the brushless DC motor to the commanded position only when a time-rate change in the commanded position is less than a first threshold, a difference between the commanded position and actual position is less than a second threshold, and, the monitored energy used is less than a third threshold. A peak torque commutation method is employed to control the brushless DC motor to achieve the commanded position when the time-rate change in the commanded position is greater than the first threshold, the difference between the commanded position and actual position is greater than the second threshold, or the monitored energy used is greater than the third threshold.
