Abstract
A method and system is provided that includes a controller that operates at least one piece of equipment according to setpoint values and a setpoint monitor in communication with the controller. The setpoint monitor receives setpoint modifications, each setpoint modification corresponding to a modification of one of the setpoint values. The setpoint monitor calculates an expected change in energy consumption of the at least one piece of equipment for each of the setpoint modifications and ranks the setpoint modifications based on the expected change in energy consumption. A first terminal is in communication with the setpoint monitor and displays the setpoint modifications in an order based on the ranking of the setpoint modifications. The first terminal receives input for each setpoint modification of the plurality of setpoint modifications indicating approval or rejection of the setpoint modification.
