Abstract
A computerized system and method for benchmarking energy performance in a building are provided. The method includes receiving utility use data for the building, receiving weather data for the building, and computing a best thermodynamic break-even temperature for the building based on the utility use data and the weather data.
Claims81
A method implemented using a computerized system for benchmarking energy performance in a building, comprising:
- receiving utility use data for the building;
- receiving weather data for the building;
- and
- computing a best thermodynamic break-even (“TBE”) temperature for the building based on the utility use data and the weather data.

A computerized system for benchmarking energy performance in a building, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU);
- and
- a storage device coupled to the CPU and having information stored therein for configuring the CPU to:
- receive utility use data for the building;
- receive weather data for the building;
- and
- compute a best thermodynamic break-even (“TBE”) temperature for the building based on the utility use data and the weather data.
