Problems solved by technology

However, the cost of these sensors and the time required to install the sensors and obtain readings make monitoring cost-prohibitive
[0017] Although HVAC systems often constitute a significant portion of total energy consumption in residential or light commercial HVAC buildings, home and business owners often do not have access to energy

Embodiment Construction

[0082] According to the present disclosure, the monitoring system can be integrated with a building's residential or light commercial HVAC (heating, ventilation, or air conditioning) system. The monitoring system can provide information regarding the status, maintenance and efficiency of the HVAC system to customers and / or contractors associated with the building. For example, a building could be a single-family home, including customers who could be homeowners, landlords, or tenants. In other implementations, the building may be a light commercial building, and the customer may be an owner, tenant, or property management company of the building.

[0083] As used in this application, the term "HVAC" may cover all environmental comfort systems in a building, including heating, cooling, humidification, dehumidification, and appliances and air conditioners. An HVAC system as described in this application does not necessarily include both heating and air conditioning, but may ha...

Abstract

A system and method for monitoring a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system of a building is provided. A monitoring server, located remotely from the building, is configured to receive power consumption data and control signal data from a monitoring device at the building and to receive energy pricing data from a customer device associated with the HVAC system or a database that stores energy pricing data. The monitoring server is configured to determine energy cost data for segments of a selected time period based on the power consumption data, the control signal data, and the energy pricing data. The monitoring server is also configured to communicate the energy cost data to the customer device for display on the customer device.
