Another method and system for controlling a refrigeration system includes steps of performing an operation of the refrigeration system in accordance with at least one parameter, sensing an amount of energy utilized in at least a portion of the refrigeration system to perform the operation, and modifying the at least one parameter to reduce the amount of energy required to subsequently perform the operation.
