Residential energy efficiency rating system

Abstract

A residential energy efficiency rating system that may incorporate one or more sensors situated at one or more residential properties, an aggregation and sending device connected to the one or more sensors, a central data receiver and processor connected to the aggregation and sending device, a historical device data storage connected to the central data receiver and processor, and a residential energy efficiency rating calculator connected to the historical device data storage.

1 - 8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . An estimated residential energy efficiency rating mechanism comprising:
 an energy rating data storage;   a model training processor connected to the energy rating data storage;   a model parameters storage connected to the model training processor;   an estimated REER (eREER) calculation processor connected to the model parameter storage; and   one or more storages connected to the model training processor and the eREER calculation processor.   
     
     
         10 . The mechanism of  claim 9 , wherein the one more storages are selected from a group comprising a residential structure data storage and a consumer demographic data storage. 
     
     
         11 . The mechanism of  claim 9 , further comprising an estimated REER (eREER) data application program interface (API) connected to the eREER calculation processor. 
     
     
         12 . The mechanism of  claim 11 , further comprising one or more client applications connected to the eREER data API. 
     
     
         13 . The mechanism of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 an eREER storage connected to the eREER calculation processor and to the eREER data API; and   one or more client applications connected to the eREER calculation processor and to the eREER storage.   
     
     
         14 . The mechanism of  claim 13 , wherein:
 a client application requests on-demand results from the eREER calculation processor, where the results are calculated on-the-fly, through the eREER data API; or   a client application makes a request for results of the eREER calculation processor that have been calculated previously and saved in the eREER storage.   
     
     
         15 . The mechanism of  claim 12 , wherein the one or more client applications are connected to the eREER data API via an internet.
