  • Patent number: 12061633
    Abstract: A building system of a building including one or more memory devices having instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive tags describing points of the building. The instructions cause the one or more processors to map the tags to classes of a schema of a graph data structure, perform clustering to generate clusters of the points. The instructions cause the one or more processors to identify, based on the clusters, relationships in the schema of the graph data structure between the tags mapped to the classes of the schema of the graph data structure. The instructions cause the one or more processors to construct the graph data structure in the schema based on the tags mapped to the classes and the relationships in the schema of the graph data structure.

  • Publication number: 20240086429
    Abstract: Sensorized commercial buildings are a rich target for building a new class of applications that improve operational and energy efficiency of building operations that take into account human activities. Such applications, however, rarely experience widespread adoption due to the lack of a common descriptive schema that would enable porting these applications and systems to different buildings. Our demo presents Brick [4], a uniform schema for representing metadata in buildings. Our schema defines a concrete ontology for sensors, subsystems and relationships among them, which enables portable applications. Using a web application, we will demonstrate real buildings that have been mapped to the Brick schema, and show application queries that extracts relevant metadata from these buildings. The attendees would be able to create example buildings and write their own queries.
