Publication number: 20230148149Abstract: A method executable by a building management system includes generating a graphical user interface that includes a bar graph comprising a plurality of bars representing resource consumption values for a plurality of time periods and a line overlaid on the bar graph and representing a baseline or target resource consumption. The method also includes comparing the resource consumption values to the baseline or target resource consumption, adding a first icon aligned with a first bar of the plurality of bars in response to determining that a first resource consumption value represented by the first bar is within a threshold of the baseline or target resource consumption and less than the baseline or target resource consumption, and adding a second icon aligned with the first bar in response to determining that the first resource consumption value exceeds the baseline. The second icon is different than the first icon.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2022Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventors: Robbie G. Davis, Kerry M. Bell, Rajesh Nayak, Kierstyn R. Robbins, Ann M. Cook

Patent number: 11206153Abstract: A building management system includes a search and control system coupled to a building network. The building network includes a plurality of devices of building equipment that operate to affect a variable state or condition within a building. The search and control system is configured to provide a search interface, receive filter criteria, perform a search regarding the devices of building equipment based on the filter criteria, return a set of search results based on the filter criteria, receive a selection of one or more devices of building equipment of the set of search results, receive command criteria regarding a command to provide to the one or more selected devices of building equipment, and provide the command to the one or more selected devices of building equipment. The command causes the one or more selected devices of building equipment to affect the variable state or condition within the building.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2018Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Ryan A. Piaskowski, Suvidha Raina, Ann M. Cook, Michael N. Offenbacher, Mohit Goel

Publication number: 20210149352Abstract: A method in a Building Management System (BMS) includes presenting a user interface to a user on a user device that allows the user to efficiently view logical relationships between objects in the BMS. The method includes presenting, on the user interface, a first object and a second object. The second object is affected by the first object. The first object is presented on a first side of the second object on the user interface. The method also includes receiving, via the user interface, an input from the user including a selection of the second object, and presenting, on the user interface, a third object used to control equipment of the BMS in response to the input from the user. The third object is affected by the second object and presented on a second side of the second object opposite the first side.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2019Publication date: May 20, 2021Applicant: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Ann M. Cook, Dana A. Guthrie, Suvidha Raina, Philip G. Johnson, Ryan A. Piaskowski, Prashant Taralkar

Publication number: 20200201273Abstract: A building management system includes multiple different types of building equipment configured to serve different types of spaces in a building or campus and perform different building functions. The building management system includes a controller configured to determine a type of building equipment and/or a type of space to be monitored or controlled via a user interface and select a layout for the user interface from multiple different layouts based on the type of building equipment or the type of space to be monitored or controlled via the user interface. The selected layout is configured for use with multiple different building equipment having the type of building equipment or multiple different spaces having the type of space. The processing circuit is configured to generate the user interface by populating the selected layout with building equipment-specific information for a particular building equipment or space-specific information for a particular space.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2020Publication date: June 25, 2020Applicant: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Ryan A. Piaskowski, Nicole A. Madison, Garrett Wiens-Kind, Beth A. Ray, Ann M. Cook

Publication number: 20180259934Abstract: A building management system includes building equipment configured to serve one or more spaces in a building or campus. A user device is configured to display a user interface for monitoring and controlling the building equipment and the one or more spaces. The building management system further includes a controller. The controller is configured to determine a role of a user to which the user interface will be displayed, a type of the user device on which the user interface will be displayed, and a type of equipment or space to be monitored and controlled via the user interface. The controller is further configured to select the user interface from a plurality of user interfaces, each user interface corresponding to a different combination of user role, user device type, and equipment type or space type. The controller is further configured to provide the selected user interface to the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2017Publication date: September 13, 2018Applicant: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Ryan A.
