Patent number: 12182385Abstract: A method executable by a building management system includes generating a graphical user interface that includes a bar graph comprising a plurality of bars representing resource consumption values for a plurality of time periods and a line overlaid on the bar graph and representing a baseline or target resource consumption. The method also includes comparing the resource consumption values to the baseline or target resource consumption, adding a first icon aligned with a first bar of the plurality of bars in response to determining that a first resource consumption value represented by the first bar is within a threshold of the baseline or target resource consumption and less than the baseline or target resource consumption, and adding a second icon aligned with the first bar in response to determining that the first resource consumption value exceeds the baseline. The second icon is different than the first icon.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2022Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: TYCO FIRE & SECURITY GMBHInventors: Robbie G. Davis, Kerry M. Bell, Rajesh Nayak, Kierstyn R. Robbins, Ann M. Cook

Patent number: 11927357Abstract: A system includes a plurality of thermostats corresponding to a plurality of HVAC systems that serve a plurality of spaces and a computing system communicable with the plurality of thermostats via a network. The computing system is configured to, for each space of the plurality of spaces, obtain a set of training data relating to thermal behavior of the space, identify a model of thermal behavior of the space based on the set of training data, perform a model predictive control process using the model of thermal behavior of the space to obtain a temperature setpoint for the space, and provide the temperature setpoint to the thermostat corresponding to the HVAC system serving the space. The plurality of thermostats are configured to control the plurality of HVAC systems in accordance with the temperature setpoints.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Kerry M. Bell, Bridget E. Kapler, Alan S. Schwegler, Leyla Mousavi, Kierstyn R. Robbins, Robert D. Turney, Matthew J. Ellis, Michael J. Wenzel, Mohammad N. ElBsat, Juan Esteban Tapiero Bernal, Brennan H. Fentzlaff

Publication number: 20200003448Abstract: A facility management portal and associated user interface can be used for remote monitoring, servicing, and commissioning of a Building Management System (BMS) and associated devices. Building stakeholders can use the facility management portal to configure smart thermostat devices with various settings or parameters associated therewith. For example, building stakeholders may create device profiles associated with smart thermostat devices and provide different device profiles to different groups of thermostat devices installed in a building. Moreover, stakeholders can use the facility management portal to monitor data such as energy consumption and air quality associated with buildings. Building tenants can interact with control devices such as smart thermostats and associated mobile applications to initiate maintenance or emergency notifications relayed through the facility management portal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2019Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Alan S. Schwegler, Paul Michael Nowak, Michael F. Kornacki, Ryan J. Bykowski, Kierstyn R. Robbins, Bridget E. Kapler, Vineet Binodshanker Sinha, Sayan Chakraborty, Kerry M. Bell
