OVERVIEW
With the constant decrease in the cost of computer technology, automated control of a wide range of energy systems within commercial and industrial buildings is becoming increasingly popular and cost effective. An energy management and control system (EMCS) can be designed to control and reduce the building energy consumption within a facility by continuously monitoring the energy-use of various equipments and making appropriate adjustments. For instance , an EMCS can automatically monitor and adjust indoor ambient temperatures, set fan speeds, open and close air handling unit dampers, and control lighting systems.

ENERGY CHARGE & DEMAND CHARGE

Based on long-term simulation analysis, the annual energy cost savings associated with precooling has been estimated for various time-of-use utility rates (Morgan and Krarti 2005). For time-of-use rates, on-peak to off-peak ratios for energy and demand charges were defined as follows: Fort he ratio of on-peak to off-peak energy charges, Re

For the ratio of on-peak to off-peak demand charges, Rd
