Abstract: A method and apparatus, often implemented in a building management system, may include receiving data indicative of a threat level identifier, and subsequently receiving a user instruction to associate one or more sets of building system configuration data with the threat level identifier. Each set of building system configuration data may relate to a respective building system. The instruction may be processed to selectively associate the one or more sets of building system configuration data with the threat level identifier. Subsequently, in response to an instruction to implement a threat level corresponding to the threat level identifier, signals may be generated and transmitted thereby to instruct the relevant building systems to apply configuration data corresponding to the one or more data sets associated with the threat level identifier.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for controlling a building management system (BMS). The present embodiments are directed towards systems and methods that allow a user to implement threat levels in the context of a BMS. In broad terms, aspects of the technology described herein allow a user to define sets of configuration data for various building systems, and associate those sets of data with threat levels. In response to a change in conditions, a user selectively implements a different threat level, which causes the relevant configuration data to be applied to the various building systems. One embodiment provides a method, implemented in a computer system, including receiving data indicative of a threat level identifier, and subsequently receiving a user instruction to associate one or more sets of building system configuration data with the threat level identifier. Each set of building system configuration data relates to a respective building system.
