1. A building manager comprising:
a communications interface configured to receive time-of-use information from a smart energy grid; and
a processing circuit configured to process the time-of-use information received from the smart energy grid to generate load shedding decisions for a plurality of building subsystems or devices comprising determining when to utilize energy from energy storage equipment, determine an amount of greenhouse gas emissions corresponding to the load shedding decisions, and convert the amount of greenhouse gas emissions into tradable carbon credits;
wherein the processing circuit is configured to generate a graphical user interface comprising one or more modules indicating the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, the tradable carbon credits, or energy savings resulting from the load shedding decisions for the plurality of building subsystems or devices;
wherein the processing circuit is configured to rearrange, resize, or reconfigure the one or more modules or change the one or more modules for different modules in response to a user input or selection provided via the graphical user interface.
