  • Patent number: 11719451
    Abstract: A building system for detecting faults in an operation of building equipment. The building system comprising one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that cause the one or more processors to perform a cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis on actual building data and corresponding predicted building data to obtain cumulative sum values for a first plurality of times within a first time period; analyze cumulative sum values associated with a second plurality of times occurring before the first time to identify a second time of the second plurality of times at which a second cumulative sum value is at a local minimum; and determine that a first fault began at the second time.

  • Publication number: 20230153490
    Abstract: A method for generating a reliability model, comprising receiving, by a processing circuit, historical operating data associated with one or more chillers or chiller components, the historical operating data including two or more event dates associated with the one or more chillers, calculating, by the processing circuit, a runtime of a chiller of the one or more chillers based on the two or more event dates, calibrating, by the processing circuit, the runtime by determining an idle time associated with the chiller corresponding to a location of the chiller and performing an operation using the runtime and the idle time to generate a calibrated runtime, and training, by the processing circuit, a chiller reliability model using the calibrated runtime to produce a trained model.

  • Publication number: 20220375202
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media that perform the steps of receiving a first plurality of snapshots, generating a first plurality of descriptors each associated with the first plurality of snapshots, grouping the first plurality of snapshots into at least one cluster based on the plurality of descriptors, selecting a representative snapshot for each of the at least one cluster, generating at least one second descriptor for the representative snapshot for each of the at least one cluster, wherein the at least one second descriptor is more complex than the first plurality of descriptors, and identifying a target by applying the at least second descriptor to a second plurality of snapshots.

    Abstract: A building system for detecting faults in an operation of building equipment. The building system comprising one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that cause one or more processors to perform a cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis on actual building data and corresponding predicted building data to obtain cumulative sum values for a plurality of times within a first time period; determine a first time at which a first cumulative sum value is at a first maximum; identify a second cumulative sum value at a second maximum at a second time occurring after the first time; compare the identified second cumulative sum value to a threshold; and based on determining that the identified second cumulative sum value does not exceed the threshold, determine that a first fault ended at the first time.

  • Patent number: 11188039
    Abstract: A building management system including building equipment operable to affect a variable state or condition of a building. The building management system includes a controller including a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to obtain an energy prediction model (EPM) for predicting energy requirements over time. The processing circuit is configured to monitor one or more triggering events to determine if the EPM should be retrained. The processing circuit is configured to, in response to detecting that a triggering event has occurred, identify updated values of one or more hyper-parameters of the EPM. The processing circuit is configured to operate the building equipment based on the EPM.

  • Publication number: 20180052520
    Abstract: A gesture-based interaction system for communication with an equipment-based system includes a sensor device and a signal processing unit. The sensor device is configured to capture at least one scene of a user to monitor for at least one gesture of a plurality of possible gestures, conducted by the user, and output a captured signal. The signal processing unit includes a processor configured to execute recognition software and a storage medium configured to store pre-defined gesture data. The signal processing unit is configured to receive the captured signal, process the captured signal by at least comparing the captured signal to the pre-defined gesture data for determining if at least one gesture of the plurality of possible gestures are portrayed in the at least one scene, and output a command signal associated with the at least one gesture to the equipment-based system.
