Various arrangements for accessing an energy management policy for a plurality of devices are described. The energy usage of devices within a first structure is monitored. An energy usage rule and energy usage is then compared. The energy management policy and energy usage is also compared. Based on the comparing, an instruction may be generated to modify an energy usage profile of one or more devices to correlate with the energy usage rule associated with the devices and the energy management policy, thereby enabling efficient energy management.

1. A computer implemented method of managing energy usage, said method comprising: accessing, by an energy management policy accessor that comprises one or more processors, an energy management policy that specifies an overall maximum energy usage permitted in total for a plurality of devices located at a first structure;accessing, by an energy usage rule accessor that comprises the one or more processors, an energy usage rule for a single device of the plurality of devices, the energy usage rule pertaining specifically to said single device and indicating a maximum energy usage for said single device;receiving, by an energy usage rule comparator that comprises the one or more processors, an energy usage measurement of said single device and firstly comparing, said energy usage rule with said energy usage measurement;secondly comparing, by the one or more processors, said energy usage and said energy management policy; andbased on said first and second comparing, generating, by the one or more processors, at least one instruction to modify an energy usage profile of said single device to correlate with the energy usage rule associated with said single device and said energy management policy, the energy usage profile controlling an amount of energy used by said device, thereby enabling efficient energy management. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said instruction is formatted for interpretation by a human user of said single device. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said instruction is receivable by at least one of said devices. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said instruction is receivable by a unit coupled with at least one of said devices, wherein said unit is configured to modify said energy usage profile associated with the single device. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: accessing energy usage information at an energy measuring module coupled with said first structure, wherein said energy usage information describes a total amount of energy utilized within said first structure with which said devices are coupled. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: accessing energy usage information at an energy measuring module coupled with at least one of said devices, wherein said energy usage information describes a total amount of energy utilized by the device. 7.

The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating an instruction for modifying the energy usage profile of at least one of said devices coupled with said first structure according to an energy usage profile of a device coupled with a second structure, such that said energy usage associated with said first structure and said energy usage associated with said second structure does not occur at the same time. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising: tracking a difference between a sum of energy usage of all of said devices, wherein all of said devices are in an active state and coupled with said first structure, and a total energy used within said first structure to generate a passive power consumption analysis. 12. A system for managing energy usage, said system comprising: an energy management policy accessor that comprises one or more processors configured to access an energy management policy that specifies an overall maximum energy usage permitted in total for a plurality of devices located at a first structure;an energy usage rule accessor that comprises the one or more processors configured to access an energy usage rule for a single device of the plurality of devices, the energy usage rule indicating a maximum energy usage for said single device;an energy usage rule comparator that comprises the one or more processors configured to receive an energy usage measurement of said single device and compare said energy usage rule with said energy usage measurement;an energy management policy comparator that comprises the one or more processors configured to receive an energy usage measurement of said single device and compare said energy management policy with said energy usage measurement; andan energy usage profile generator that comprises the one or more processors configured to generate an instruction to modify said energy usage profile of said single device to correlate with said usage rule and said energy management policy, the energy usage profile controlling an amount of energy used by said single device, thereby enabling efficient energy management. 13. The system of claim 12, further comprising: an interface compatibility module configured for enabling coupling of said system with a compatible communication module, wherein said system utilizes said compatible communication module to access said energy usage measurement. 14. The system of claim 12, further comprising: a graphical display module configured for enabling communication with a user. 15. The system of claim 12, further comprising: a server accessor configured for accessing an energy management instruction at a server, wherein said server is positioned apart from said first structure. 16. The system of claim 12, further comprising: a user instruction accessor configured for accessing an instruction from a user, wherein said instruction provides guidance as to a user's desired energy usage for at least one of said devices. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein said user instruction is a result of a dialogue generated by said energy manager with said user. 18. The energy management platform of claim 12, further comprising: a passive power consumption tracker for tracking a difference between: a sum of energy usage of all devices when said all devices are in an active state and coupled with said first structure, wherein the active state refers to a device being set to an “on” state, anda total energy used within said first structure,wherein the passive power consumption tracker generates a passive power consumption analysis based on the difference that identifies an amount of power that is being consumed but not being tracked for any of the said all devices.
