Abstract
A method of managing energy use at a site includes opening a session with a first remote server and then communicating with the at least one remote server at a periodic interval. The method proceeds by determining whether energy management information is located at the at least one remote server and then receiving the energy management information at a controller located at the site. The method then includes processing the energy management information.
