Abstract
A system for managing energy consumption has a data storage module, a calculation module and an operation planning module. The data storage module stores an operational past record of a unit belonging to a facility to be managed by the system. The calculation module calculates wasteful energy consumption for the unit based on the operational past record stored in the data storage module. The operation planning module generates an operational plan for the unit belonging to the facility based on the wasteful energy consumption calculated by the calculation module.
