  • COMPUTER-BASED EXTRACTION OF COMPLEX BUILDING OPERATION RULES FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
    Publication number: 20150134586
    Abstract: A method for generating an operational rule associated with a building management system includes identifying, with a processing device, a first pattern associated with a series of operational observations corresponding to a property of the building management system, correlating a first contextual attribute with the first pattern, and deriving the operational rule at least in part based on the first pattern and the first contextual attribute.
    Type: Application

  • Configuring Building Energy Management Systems Using Knowledge Encoded in Building Management System Points Lists
    Publication number: 20140163753
    Abstract: Techniques for configuring a Building Energy Management System (BEMS) using knowledge encoded in BMS point lists are provided. In one aspect, a method for configuring a BEMS of a site is provided. The method includes the following steps. A knowledge base is derived from subject matter expertise. The knowledge base is used to extract one or more building characteristics from a point list of a building management system (BMS) that are not directly available from the BMS point list. The BEMS is configured using the one or more building characteristics extracted from the BMS point list.
