1. A computer-implemented method to deploy a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) energy optimization program, comprising:
providing a standard operating control platform in an energy optimization control engine (EOCE) computing system, the EOCE computing system communicatively coupled to a building automation system (BAS) that directs operations of a plurality of HVAC components;
determining that at least one HVAC component of the plurality of HVAC components has changed; and
based on the determination that the at least one HVAC component has changed:
receiving, by one or more configured computing systems of an energy optimization portal (EOP), from the EOCE computing system:
a first data set identifying the plurality of HVAC components;
a second data set including operational control parameters for each of the plurality of HVAC components; and
a third data set including measured operations data associated with each of the plurality of HVAC components;
generating by the one or more configured computing systems of the EOP an energy optimized operating control platform based on the first, second, and third data sets, wherein instructions specified by the energy optimized operating control platform are used by an EOCE to cooperatively control each of the plurality of HVAC components via directives passed from the EOCE computing system to the BAS, the energy optimized operating control platform including configuration settings for each of the plurality of HVAC components; and
communicating the energy optimized operating control platform from the one or more configured computing systems of the EOP to the EOCE computing system, wherein the EOCE computing system:
causes the operation of the plurality of HVAC components to be optimized by automatically installing the configuration settings onto the plurality of HVAC components, the plurality of HVAC components being caused to be operated in accordance with the installed configuration settings; and
causes the BAS to be optimized by automatically installing the configuration settings onto the BAS, such that operations of the BAS for operating the plurality of HVAC components are able to be overridden by the EOCE computing system.
