1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor configured to:
determine power usage information associated with a load control device providing power to an electrical load, wherein the electrical load is at least one of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system or a lighting system, and wherein the power usage information indicates at least one of an amount of energy consumed by the electrical load or an amount of time the electrical load is energized;
access weather information associated with a location at which the load control device is installed, wherein the weather information is determined automatically based on a GPS location;
calculate an energy usage reduction comprising a reduced amount of power that would be consumed by the load control system based on the weather information and the determined power usage information associated with the load control device as compared to a prospective amount of power consumed with the addition of a motorized window treatment or a prospective amount of power consumed with a modified setting of an existing motorized window treatment; and
transmit the power usage information, the energy usage reduction, and an indication of the additional motorized window treatment or the modified setting to a network device configured to display the power usage information, the energy usage reduction, and the indication on a user interface at the network device.
