A method for managing energy consumption, comprising:
- collecting, at an energy demand control system with a processor, a first set of statistical data associated with an energy consumption of a plurality of energy consuming devices;
- fetching, at the energy demand control system, a second set of statistical data associated with an occupancy behavior of a plurality of users;
- accumulating, at the energy demand control system, a third set of statistical data associated with each of a plurality of energy storage and supply devices or systems, wherein the third set of statistical data comprises a current and historical energy storage and supply capacity data associated with the plurality of energy storage and supply devices or systems;
- receiving, at the energy demand control system, a fourth set of statistical data associated with each of a plurality of environmental sensors, wherein the fourth set of statistical data comprises a current and historical environmental condition data;
- gathering, at the energy demand control system, a fifth set of statistical data associated with each of a plurality of energy pricing models, wherein the fifth set of statistical data comprises current and historical recordings of energy pricing state affecting the one or more built environments;
- parsing, at the energy demand control system, the first set of statistical data, the second set of statistical data, the third set of statistical data, the fourth set of statistical data and the fifth set of statistical data by developing an energy usage profile of each category of energy consuming devices, each user of the plurality of users, and each floor of one or more built environments;
- comparing, at the energy demand control system, the energy usage profile associated with each of the plurality of energy consuming devices, each user of the plurality of users, and each floor of the built environment, wherein the comparison being performed for segregating each of the one or more built environments based on surplus and shortage of energy demand and supply corresponding to the built environment of the one or more built environments;
- identifying, at the energy demand control system, a set of control strategies and key performance indicators, wherein the set of control strategies being identified for regulating a first plurality of parameters associated with the plurality of energy consuming devices and a second plurality of parameters associated with the plurality of energy storage and supply devices or systems, wherein the key performance indicators being identified corresponding to one or more levels of control associated with the set of control strategies, wherein the key performance indicators being identified based on operating behavior and states of each of the plurality of energy consuming devices;
- and
- prioritizing, at the energy demand control system, the one or more control strategies from the set of control strategies affecting operational behavior and states of a type of energy consuming device over one or more types of energy consuming devices for reducing the time-variant energy demand, wherein the one or more control strategies being prioritized to achieve the one or more levels of control.
