A computer-based system, computer-implemented method and computer program
product facilitate determining energy cost savings in an energy-consuming
facility, such as a commercial building, using a neural network model
that projects or estimates the amount of energy that would have been
consumed by the facility but for the implementation of energy efficiency
or conservation measures. Energy savings are represented by the
difference between the estimate of energy that would have been consumed
but for the measures and the actual amount of energy consumed by the
facility under actual conditions during a time interval after the
measures have been implemented.
