  • Publication number: 20200106633
    Abstract: A building system for assurance services with timeseries, the building system including one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to monitor a building asset for one or more events and generate a plurality of performance timeseries for the building asset based on the one or more events, determine an actionable insight for the building asset by cross-correlating the plurality of performance timeseries, and perform at least one of generating a work-order for the building asset based on the actionable insight and causing a display device of a user device to display the work-order or communicating with the building asset and causing the building asset to perform one or more operations based on the actionable insight.

  • Patent number: 10520210
    Abstract: A heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for a building space includes an HVAC device including a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to generate an encrypted dynamic key based on a manifest stored on the device. The manifest includes a set of entitlements for the HVAC device based on relationships between the HVAC device and entities. The processing circuit is further configured to transmit the stored manifest to an authentication server by sending the encrypted dynamic key to the authentication server and receive an updated manifest from the authentication server based on the encrypted dynamic key. The processing circuit is further configured to send a payload request to the authentication server based on the updated manifest, the payload request including a software update request.

  • Publication number: 20190294186
    Abstract: A thermostat for includes a processing circuit configured to operate the building equipment to control an environmental condition within a building including a first zone and second zones and receive a first time-series data set for a parameter of a first piece of the building equipment associated with the first zone. The processing circuit is configured to receive second time-series data sets for the parameter of second pieces of building equipment associated with the second zones. The processing circuit is configured to perform a comparison including comparing the first time-series data set with the second time-series data sets and generate recommendations for improving the performance of the first piece of building equipment based on the comparison of the first time-series data set with the second time-series data sets.

  • Publication number: 20190179276
    Abstract: A smart circuit breaker is configured for installation within a panel assembly. The smart circuit breaker includes a breaker device positioned between a power source and a subcircuit, the breaker device having a moveable contactor configured to change from an open state to a closed state, wherein in the closed state power flows from the power source to the subcircuit via a power line, and wherein in the open state power does not flow from the power source to the subcircuit. The smart circuit breaker further includes a power meter configured to measure a power characteristic of the subcircuit. The smart circuit breaker further includes a processing circuit configured to receive a power characteristic measurement from the power meter, the processing circuit having a communications interface configured to communicate power consumption data to an external device, the power consumption data based on the power characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20180299161
    Abstract: An HVAC system within a building includes one or more sensors and a thermostat. The thermostat has a processor that is configured to receive air quality information relating to one or more air quality components. The thermostat is further configured to determine a performance level corresponding to each air quality component. The thermostat is further configured to determine one or more parameter values for each air quality component. The thermostat is further configured to generate an icon that visually represents each air quality component.

  • Publication number: 20170284691
    Abstract: A method for registering an HVAC device in a distributed building management system (BMS). The method includes requesting a token. The token is configured to authorize a registration of the HVAC device. The method further includes receiving the token at a registration service, and receiving a unique ID associated with the HVAC device at the registration service. The method also includes registering the device into a document database of the registration service and generating a device shadow associated with the HVAC device. The method also includes storing the device shadow in the distributed BMS.
