Business Intelligence (BI) refers to computer-based techniques that facilitate the use of information within organizations to make informed decisions and to run operations effectively based on available data. Our goal is the research and development of new BI tools for focused search and retrieval, which will support analysis and decision-making related to energy conservation and management. Such tools will also have wide applicability to business analytics in general.
