Systems and methods for reducing energy consumption

A system for reducing energy consumption in providing remote resources, the system comprising:

• a first plurality of computing nodes in a first time zone, wherein the first plurality of computing nodes include cooling systems;
• an energy management device including a processor and memory storing instructions that when executed cause the system to perform a set of operations comprising:
• aggregating prior usage data from the first plurality of computing nodes;
• based on the aggregated prior usage data from the first plurality of computing nodes, determining a first usage threshold for decreasing cooling system output for the first plurality of computing nodes;
• receiving current usage data for the first plurality of computing nodes;
• detecting that the current usage data for the first plurality of computing nodes has reached the first usage threshold;
• based on a local time for the first plurality of nodes and the current usage data for the first plurality of computing nodes reaching the first usage threshold, decreasing output of the cooling systems of the first plurality of computing nodes;
• determining a slope immediately prior to a threshold intersection point of the current usage data for the first plurality of computing nodes;
• and
• determining that a magnitude of the determined slope is less than an immediate-slope threshold,
• wherein decreasing output of the cooling systems of the first plurality of computing nodes is further based on the determination that magnitude of the determined slope is less than the immediate-slope threshold.
