  • Patent number: 11947785
    Abstract: A building energy management includes building equipment, one or more data platform services, a timeseries database, and an energy management application. The building equipment operate to monitor and control a variable and provide raw data samples of a data point associated with the variable. The timeseries database stores a plurality of timeseries associated with the data point. The plurality of timeseries include a timeseries of the raw data samples and the one or more optimized data timeseries generated by the data platform services based on the raw data timeseries. The energy management application generates an ad hoc dashboard including a widget and associates the widget with the data point. The widget displays a graphical visualization of the plurality of timeseries associated with the data point and includes interactive user interface options for switching between the plurality of timeseries associated with the data point.

  • Publication number: 20240080219
    Abstract: A building system for identity management of a building, the building system including one or more storage devices configured to store instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a request to determine whether an entity has a privilege and determine whether the entity has the privilege by querying, based on the request, a graph database to identity information of the graph database that indicates whether the entity has the privilege, wherein the graph database stores nodes representing at least one of users, equipment, events, or spaces of the building, wherein the graph database stores edges between the nodes representing relationships between the users, equipment, events, or spaces. The instructions cause the one or more processors to generate a response including a determination whether the entity has the privilege.

  • Patent number: 11880677
    Abstract: A building network system of a building includes a network system. The network system includes one or more processing circuits. The one or more processing circuits are configured to receive network data from a building network of the building, the network data associated with a plurality of pieces of building equipment of the building. The one or more processing circuits are configured to generate a digital network twin of the building network based on the network data, the digital network twin representing the plurality of pieces of building equipment and relationships between the plurality of pieces of building equipment. The one or more processing circuits are configured to identify one or more network updates to the building network based on the digital network twin. The one or more processing circuits are configured to deploy the one or more network updates to the building network.

  • Publication number: 20240012937
    Abstract: A building system for operating a building and managing private building information includes a processing circuit configured to receive a request for information for a building entity of a building entity database. The processing circuit is configured to select one of the mask templates from the entity database based on access values associated with the requesting device and a relational link between the building entity and the mask templates, retrieve private information for the building entity in response to a reception of the request for the information, and generate a masked information data structure based on the private information and the one of the mask templates.

  • Publication number: 20170011318
    Abstract: A contractor recommendation system includes one or more databases storing contractor attributes for a plurality of contractors and attribute weights indicating a relative importance of each of the contractor attributes. The system uses the contractor attributes and the attribute weights to select one or more recommended contractors for a building owner and generates a contractor recommendation comprising an indication of the one or more recommended contractors. The system provides the contractor recommendation to the building owner and receives a contractor selection from the building owner. The system uses the contractor selection as a feedback to determine an importance of each of the contractor attributes to the building owner and automatically updates the stored attribute weights based on the determined importance.
