  • Publication number: 20240142930
    Abstract: A building system including one or more storage devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to ingest information comprising at least one of occupancy information or energy usage information associated with a building. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to generate a space usage recommendation based on the information. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to cause a graphical model of the building to include a representation of the information and the space usage recommendation. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to cause a display device of a user device to display the graphical model within a user interface.

  • Patent number: 11783240
    Abstract: A method for mitigating risk of transmission of a contagious disease in a building. The method includes determining, by a processing circuit including one or more processors, a safety rule to be applied to a workspace including a plurality of workspace stations, the safety rule relating to limiting the transmission of the contagious disease. The method includes receiving a request for one or more reservable workspace stations, the request including one or more request parameters. The method includes identifying the one or more reservable workspace stations from among the plurality of workspace stations by determining whether to permit the one or more reservable workspace stations to be reserved based on the safety rule. The method includes generating data identifying the one or more reservable workspace stations.

  • Patent number: 11593701
    Abstract: Technologies for user-assisted machine learning includes a compute device configured to request user assistance to classify sensor data in response to a determination that a confidence score associated with the classification of the sensor data is below a threshold value and/or if the classification of the sensor data is unknown. In an illustrative embodiment, the compute device is configured to communicate with an activity monitor device, such as a smart pet collar, to determine activities of the subject (e.g., a pet) based on classification data received from the smart pet collar.

  • Patent number: 11589186
    Abstract: A method includes defining a plurality of monitored spaces. For each of at least a subset of the plurality of monitored spaces, the method includes associating a set of laboratory equipment with the monitored space, calculating an equipment utilization score for the monitored space based on resource consumption data for the set of laboratory equipment, calculating an occupancy utilization score for the monitored space based on occupant tracking data for the monitored space, and calculating a combined utilization score based on the equipment utilization score and the occupancy utilization score. The method also includes providing a graphical user interface comprising the combined utilization scores for the subset of the plurality of monitored spaces.
