Abstract: Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a computer-implemented method for generating a building automation project of a building automation system. The method may include: receiving structural information regarding building equipment; generating a semantic model of the building automation system, including automatically extracting equipment information from the structural information; extending the semantic model of the building automation system by providing application information; and generating, based on the equipment information and application information of the extended semantic model, a building automation project adapted for loading on a building automation device.
