1. A method for controlling building equipment to achieve a target energy consumption, comprising:
determining a probability that load shedding will be needed to achieve the target energy consumption during a future time period;
in response to the probability exceeding a threshold, generating a plurality of scores for a plurality of units of equipment using one or more machine learning models trained on historical data from a historical time period, the plurality of scores indicating relative load shedding priorities associated with the plurality of units of the equipment during the future time period; and
implementing the load shedding by controlling the plurality of units of equipment in accordance with the plurality of scores during the future time period, wherein controlling the plurality of units of equipment comprises shedding a first unit of the plurality of units, the first unit associated with an extremum score of the plurality of scores.
