  • Building management system with heuristics for configuring building spaces
    Patent number: 10139792
    Abstract: A building management system (BMS) includes building equipment located within a building space and a controller that receives input from the building equipment and provides a control signal to the building equipment. A floorplan geolocator receives a map providing geolocation data and overlays a building floorplan onto the map. A space geolocator receives an input defining a location of the building space relative to the floorplan and determines a geolocation of the building space using the geolocation data. A equipment geolocator receives an input defining a location of the building equipment relative to the floorplan and determines a geolocation of the building equipment using the geolocation data. A parent space detector uses geometric heuristics and the geolocations of the building space and the building equipment to identify a spatial relationship between the building space and the building equipment. The controller uses the spatial relationship to generate the control signal.
