SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENTERPRISE UTILITY DATA AGGREGATION, MANAGEMENT, AND REPORTING

摘要

Disclosed is an automated utility data aggregation, warehousing, management, and reporting platform. Also disclosed is a universal multi-location utility monitoring service suitable for collecting granular data from any utility meter (e.g. energy, water, or gas meters) or the like and evaluating the efficiency of various aspects of the system based upon the data collected, its user specified definition, and up to date information acquired from various external sources. The service operates at a central server which collects information from a number of potentially diverse sources for inclusion in a database. In one form, the central server collects static data—such as initial setup and factual information with respect to an entity, dynamic data—such as utility data, and acquired data—such as current weather and publicly available utility costs.
