Smart energy scheduling of HVAC system during on-peak hours

This invention describes a computer system that helps manage a home's heating and cooling system during expensive "on-peak" electricity hours. It uses information from the utility company about when these peak times occur and learns how the house's temperature changes. Based on this, it creates a specific schedule for turning the HVAC system on and off to maintain comfort while reducing energy use, and then adjusts the temperature afterward to prevent sudden strain on the power grid.
