Excerpt
Excerpt An energy management system for monitoring and analyzing the power consumption at a plurality of locations. The energy management system includes a primary server connected to at least one building server or other device through a computer network. Each of the building servers are connected to one or more energy meters contained in a building. The primary server sends out a data request and receives energy usage information from each of the individual building servers. The primary server stores the energy usage information in a power database such that the information can be processed in a variety of manners, such as aggregating the energy usage information from multiple locations into a single energy consumption statistic. The primary server can be accessed by remote monitoring stations to view and analyze the energy usage information stored in the power database. |

Claims
1
A method for remotely controlling power consumption of at least one server, comprising:
providing remote control to an administrator over a power state of at least one server;
building an instruction command and encoding it into a suitable format for transport over a data network from an administration terminal to the at least one server; and
interpreting the command and executing the command by the at least one server without powering down the at least one server.
