Abstract

A first Open Automatic Demand Response (OpenADR)-compliant server may receive from a second OpenADR 2.0-compliant server, an OpenADR 2.0-compliant virtual end node (VEN), or building energy management system, a first message that represents an OpenADR-conformant message. The first message may include an energy price associated with one or more energy consuming or producing devices. The first OpenADR-compliant server may provide one or more instructions to an endpoint device operable to control the one or more energy consuming or producing devices. Responsive to the first OpenADR-compliant server determining the energy price exceeds a first threshold, the first OpenADR-compliant server may transmit the one or more instructions to the endpoint device to cause the one or more energy consuming or producing devices to reduce operations in response to determining that the energy price exceeds the first threshold.
