Estimating energy savings from building management system point lists

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon:

• first program instructions programmed to receive first actual building management system (BMS) information relating to operation of a first set of appliance(s) located in a first building during a first time interval;
• second program instructions programmed to select a first proposed energy management system (EMS) rule set;
• and
• third program instructions programmed to determine a first contrafactual use value based, at least in part, on the first actual BMS information, with the first contrafactual use value corresponding to an amount of energy resources that would have been consumed by the first set of appliance(s) if the BMS had operated the first set of appliance(s) under control of the first proposed EMS rule set.

• a processor(s) set;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium;
• wherein:
• the processor set is structured, located, connected and/or programmed to run program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium;
• and
• the program instructions include:
• first program instructions programmed to receive first actual building management system (BMS) information relating to operation of a first set of appliance(s) located in a first building during a first time interval;
• second program instructions programmed to select a first proposed energy management system (EMS) rule set;
• and
• third program instructions programmed to determine a first contrafactual use value based, at least in part, on the first actual BMS information, with the first contrafactual use value corresponding to an amount of energy resources that would have been consumed by the first set of appliance(s) if the BMS had operated the first set of appliance(s) under control of the first proposed EMS rule set.
