Abstract: There is described a building automation system comprising a control center and an adapter for providing integration of subsystems. The adapter facilitates communications between the control center and a subsystem of the building automation system. A subsystem library of the control center receives an object model associated with the subsystem from the user interface. An extraction tool of the control center generates output information based on the object model. The control center is mapped to the adapter, so that a thing description may be communicated there between. The thing description includes a description of instances hosted by the adapter and representing the object model. An auto discovery component of the control center creates instances of the object model based on the thing description and addresses properties of the object model. The building automation system utilizes the instances and the addresses to manage the subsystem associated with the object model.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing the operational noise of a blunt trailing edge of a wind turbine blade is described. The system involves increasing the trailing edge solid angle at the blade trailing edge by providing a wedge element or projection adjacent the trailing edge of the blade, the wedge element acting to provide improved mixing of the suction side and pressure side flows at the blunt trailing edge, thereby reducing the strength of vortex shedding at the trailing edge and the associated operational noise.

Abstract: Automation systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes identifying a value for a data point associated with a device in a building. The value is received from a management system operably connected to the device. The method includes mapping the value for the data point to a graphical representation of the value for the data point. The method includes generating a display comprising a graphic for the building and a symbol representing the device. The method includes displaying the graphical representation of the value for the data point in association with the symbol representing the device. Additionally, the method includes modifying the graphical representation of the value based on a change in the value in response to identifying the change in the value from the management system.

Abstract: Management systems, methods, and mediums. A method includes identifying a set of layers and a zoom factor based on a depth of a graphic to be displayed. The set of layers comprise symbols for objects corresponding to devices in a building managed by the management system. The method includes identifying a number of visible objects from the objects of the symbols in the identified set of layers based on the zoom factor. The method includes identifying a state of a device represented by a visual object in the number of visible objects from the management system communicably coupled with the devices. Additionally, the method includes generating a display for the depth. The display includes the identified set of layers, a symbol for each of the number of visible objects in the identified set of layers, and a graphical indication of the state of the device.
