  • Smart building application to prepare for employee arrival and health risks
    Patent number: 11640146
    Abstract: A controller for making initiating actions in a building management system (BMS) is shown. The controller includes a processing circuit configured to receive location data relating to the building occupant located at a first location outside of a building. The processing circuit is configured to, in response to determining the first location is within a first distance range of the building, provide control signals to a first subsystem of the BMS. The processing circuit is configured to receive location data relating to the building occupant located at a second location outside of the building. The processing circuit is configured to, in response to determining that the second location is within a second distance range of the building, provide control signals to a second subsystem of the BMS.
