Abrégé

Devices, systems and methods are provided for comparing energy-related data among a number of facilities or building associated with a single enterprise and reporting energy calculations to an enterprise manager. A method, according to one implementation, includes the step of receiving parameters related to the consumption of energy at a plurality of facilities of an enterprise. Based on the received parameters, the method further includes the step of calculating a grading index for each facility. The method also includes ranking the facilities based on the calculated grading indices and predicting a positive expected result in response to improving one or more lower-ranked facilities to match the grading index of a higher-ranked facility. The calculating the grading index may include calculating an energy efficiency value for each facility and/or calculating a risk factor for each facility, the risk factor related to power quality issues.

A power meter or other electrical device is provided having two independent and communicatively isolated Ethernet ports. The first Ethernet port is addressable by a first unique identifier and is configured for enabling full access to the power meter via an internal LAN. This enables a LAN operator to remotely access the power meter via the internal LAN for performing metering functions, such as full telemetry, control and programming. The second Ethernet port is addressable by a second unique identifier and is configured for being connected to the Internet. Since the second Ethernet port is communicatively isolated from the first Ethernet port, a user can access the power meter via the Internet, but cannot access the internal LAN by connecting to the power meter via the Internet.
