Abstract

A method for controlling energy consumption within a building (22) includes providing at least one environment sensing device (28) and at least one energy consumption sensing device (26) associated with the building (22). Current data is collected from the environment sensing device (28) and the energy consumption sensing device (26) along with associated time-of-day data. A value of a future energy consumption parameter is predicted based upon the collected current data, the associated time-of-day data, and historic data collected from the environment sensing device (28) and the energy consumption sensing device (26). A profile of future costs per unit of energy consumption as a function of time is determined. Energy consumption is controlled dependent upon the predicted future energy consumption parameter value and the determined profile of energy consumption costs.
