Abstract: A method for controlling power consumption includes receiving a flexibility request from an electrical utility and discovering energy relevant devices in a building. The energy relevant devices include electrical loads and alternative energy sources. Power requirements are predicted from an electrical utility for the loads, the prediction takes into account available power from the alternative power sources. Power set points are determined for the energy relevant devices based on the prediction. The power set points meet the flexibility request. The energy relevant devices are directed to operate at the power set points. A building energy management system is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for capturing building information includes capturing dimensions of a 360 degree image at a first location within a room of a building using a mobile device equipped with at least direction sensor and at least one motion sensor. The step of capturing dimensions is repeated within at least one additional room. The mobile device receives user input to connect the rooms to create a floor plan of the building and align the floor plans over each other to create a multi-level building map.
