  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF ENABLING BLOCKCHAIN-BASED BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20230388144
    Abstract: A system includes a plurality of first building components, a private local blockchain, a second building component, and a client device. The private local blockchain includes a device ledger indicating each first building component, a transaction ledger maintaining a plurality of blocks corresponding to a transaction between at least two first building components and including at least one first unique identifier of the corresponding first building component and a timestamp of the transaction, a transaction processor that generates at least one block by executing a predetermined hash function using a previous block, and a local rule engine defining rules to evaluate a transaction. The second building component has at least one second unique identifier. The client device provides the at least one second unique identifier to the private local blockchain. The private local blockchain determines whether to add the second building component to the device ledger.
