  • Patent number: 12008667
    Abstract: A building analysis (“BA”) system for detecting events of a building includes a plurality of sensors positioned within a building, a memory device including an optimal profile of an infrastructure to be monitored, and a building analysis (“BA”) server communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. The infrastructure is at least one of (i) a fixture associated with the building and (ii) at least one person located within the building. The BA system includes one or more processors in communication with the memory that are programmed to: (i) receive sensor data related to the infrastructure, (ii) compare the sensor data to the optimal profile to detect an event, (iii) generate an alert message including the event and a recommended action for an owner of the building, (iv) transmit the alert message to a user computing device associated with the owner, and (v) take or direct corrective actions.

  • Publication number: 20230368318
    Abstract: A system for detecting events of a geographical area includes a plurality of sensors positioned within a plurality of properties, a memory device for storing a profile of at least one utility equipment, the profile including operating parameters for the at least one utility equipment, and a server communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. The server is configured to (i) receive, from the plurality of sensors, sensor data associated with the at least one utility, (ii) detect an event associated with the at least one utility by comparing the received sensor data to the profile, (iii) determine a performance of the at least one utility equipment based upon the detected event, and (iv) transmit, to a remote computing device, support data associated with the performance of the at least one utility equipment, the support data addressing at least a performance failure of the at least one utility equipment.
