ABSTRACT:
A multi-utility energy and facility automation control system has control center computer(s) connected to utility consuming systems and software that formats energy data, stores, retrieves, diagnoses and acts in response to changes and includes a multi-utility master meter device and a plurality of sensors. The system includes at least one dashboard screen as a control screen, and a plurality of interconnected gateways for selection of separate networks for various utility-facility related subscreens. The sensors monitor pertinent data and, using the presentation of the facility information as processed by the computer and presented on the dashboard, exercise control of the facility to optimize performance and reduce the cost of purchased utilities and other facility operations.
