A computing device is provided. The computing device includes a communication interface that is configured to receive at least one signal from a utility, wherein the signal is representative of a request for a reduction of energy consumption within a building. Moreover, the computing device includes a processor that is coupled to the communication interface and is programmed to identify at least one machine within the building that is subject to the request. The processor is further programmed to generate at least one proposed control parameter for the machine based on the request. A user interface is coupled to processor and configured to enable a user of the machine to provide a response to the control parameter.

The present invention is directed toward a method for generating revenue utilizing a referendum service provider to provide referendums through interfaces. Each referendum includes two answers, one of which is to be selected by a user. The referendum service provider receives and stores a first token generated as a result of a request for a referendum to be displayed on the interface. The referendum service provider responds to the request by sending a referendum to be displayed on the interface. This is followed by the user selecting one of the two answers presented to the user. A second token generated as a result of the selection of one of the two answers is sent with the answer to the referendum service provider. The second token is then compared to the first token to produce a result, wherein if the result indicates a match, the referendum service provider is compensated.
