Abstract

The application discloses systems and methods for managing the energy consumption of a building (or group of buildings). The system comprises means for monitoring the energy consumption of the building, means for varying the energy consumption of the building, and means for setting an upper limit on the energy consumption, or on a parameter related to the energy consumption, of the building, over a pre-determined time period. The system is operable to monitor the energy consumption of the building and, should the system forecast that the upper limit on the energy consumption will be exceeded in the time period, be further operable to cause a reduction in the energy consumption of the building, so as to attempt not to exceed the upper limit.
