  • Patent number: 11280509
    Abstract: A system for a building management system simulation includes one or more processors and memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon, that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to generate a space agent representing a space in a building, the space agent to maintain an environmental condition of the space based on an optimization state of the space, generate an equipment agent representing a device that serves the space, and register the space agent and the equipment agent to a space communication channel associated with the space. The space agent communicates with the equipment agent over the space communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20210383276
    Abstract: A building system including one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to generate building recommendations based on recommendation requests with a model of a first model type when less than a predefined amount of model training data is available and receive feedback data on the recommendation requests generated by the model of the first model type. The instructions cause the one or more processors to transition from generating the building recommendations by the model of the first model type to a second model of a second model type by comparing performance of the first model type to the second model type based on the feedback data.

  • Patent number: 11070389
    Abstract: A method performed by a Building Management System (BMS) includes receiving a vibration dataset associated with a machine controlled by the BMS. The vibration dataset includes machine metadata, machine operating conditions, and one or more time waveforms. The method further includes assembling a feature vector comprising one or more features of the vibration dataset for input to a machine learning model. The machine learning model is associated with a component of the machine. The method further includes applying the feature vector to the machine learning model in order to generate a condition score for the component. The method further includes scheduling a maintenance event for the machine or changing a setpoint associated with the machine depending on the condition score.

  • Publication number: 20210116904
    Abstract: A building management system including building equipment operable to affect a variable state or condition of a building. The building management system includes a controller including a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to obtain a vibration data set related to vibrations of the building equipment. The processing circuit is configured to analyze the vibration data set by one or more machine learning models to generate a set of probabilities. The set of probabilities is related to a probability that the vibration data set is abnormal. The processing circuit is configured to identify the vibration data set as normal or abnormal based on the set of probabilities. The processing circuit is configured to initiate a corrective action responsive to identifying the vibration data set as abnormal.

  • Publication number: 20200380387
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure is a system for predicting performance of building equipment. The system comprises one or more sensors in communication with the building equipment, and the sensors are operable to detect characteristics from the building equipment. The system further comprises a computing device in communication with the sensors and in the same geographic location as the sensors. The computing device comprises one or more memory devices configured to store instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive data from the sensors, the data based on the detected characteristics. The one or more processors also generate, based on a machine learning model and the data, a predicted performance of the building equipment when the machine learning model comprises a prior data substantially similar to the data.
