Abstract
A method for employing utility-supplied information relies on two schemes for accommodating such pricing information. All subsystems in a building function based on the individual controller responsible for that subsystem and the user-defined predetermined responses stored in memory. Direct load control and user overrides are allowed. Where appropriate, a setback is applied across subsystems that operate on setpoints, and other loads are add/shed based on their value vis-a-vis interpreted utility pricing information signals.
