Apparatus, System, and Method for Quantifying Energy Usage and Savings

This invention describes a system that calculates how much energy a green or sustainable building saves compared to a standard building. It does this by setting a baseline for conventional energy use, then monitoring or predicting the actual energy used by the greener building. The system then converts all different utility units (like gas, electricity) into a single energy unit, and then into a single currency value, allowing the savings to be applied to financial transactions like mortgage payments or investments.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread smart meter deployment and the maturity of cloud-based data analytics. The system's reliance on quantifying actual usage and predicting savings is now significantly more feasible and accurate due to ubiquitous IoT sensors and advanced machine learning capabilities.
