Abstract: Techniques for energy usage alerts for a climate control device are provided. A computing device can determine a target budget for a specified budget period. The target budget may relate to a desired energy usage amount for a corresponding utility customer. The computing device can obtain usage data relating to actual energy usage by a property associated with the corresponding utility customer or a component of the property. The computing device can determine a projected use relating to an estimated energy usage for remaining days in the specified budget period based on the usage data. The computing device can generate a message including a projected bill for the corresponding utility customer based on the usage data and the projected use. The computing device can send the message to a climate control device associated with the corresponding utility customer based on the projected bill being greater than the target budget.

Abstract: An occupancy schedule determining method and system that receives usage data indicating a quantity of a resource supplied by a utility that is used at the location over a plurality of days, each of the plurality of days being subdivided into a plurality of predetermined time periods, and the usage data indicating the quantity of the resource supplied by the utility that is used during each of the predetermined time periods, aggregates the usage data for each of the plurality of predetermined time periods over the plurality of days, and uses the aggregated usage data to determine the occupancy schedule at the location using a processor.
