  • Patent number: 10216200
    Abstract: Devices, methods, and systems for water balancing are described herein. An example device includes a memory and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executed to send a command from a building controller to balance a subset of a plurality of valves. The instructions are executed to simultaneously balance the subset of the plurality of valves associated with a plurality of building systems, based on the command, and without accessing any of the plurality of valves individually.
