Abstract: A method for modifying energy consumption by a building includes receiving sensor data generated by a sensor, where the sensor data is indicative of at least one of a mixed air temperature, an outside air temperature, or air tonnage. The method further includes providing the sensor data as input into a computer-implemented machine learning model that is trained by way of reinforcement learning. The method also includes computing a setpoint modification through use of the machine learning model, where energy consumption is reduced based upon an HVAC system for the building implementing the setpoint modification.

Abstract: A digital twin may be configured to perform blockchain transactions on behalf of a device with limited memory, limited compute power, and/or limited internet connectivity. A method for performing such a blockchain transaction includes hosting a digital twin for the capability limited device that has a unique identifier matching a unique identifier of the digital twin such that actions performed by the digital twin are attributable to the capability limited device. The method further includes receiving input for a set of blockchain operations at the system capable of performing the blockchain operations, from the capability limited device. The method further includes performing the set of blockchain operations at the system capable of performing the blockchain operations using the digital twin and the unique device identifier, such that performance of the set of blockchain operations is attributed to the capability limited device.

Abstract: Performing blockchain operations on behalf of a capability limited device that is unable to perform the blockchain operations. The method includes hosting a digital twin for the capability limited device on a system capable of performing the blockchain operations. The capability limited device includes a unique device identifier. The digital twin also includes the unique device identifier, such that actions performed by the digital twin are attributable to the capability limited device. The method further includes receiving input for a set of blockchain operations at the system capable of performing the blockchain operations, from the capability limited device. The method further includes performing the set of blockchain operations at the system capable of performing the blockchain operations using the digital twin and the unique device identifier, such that performance of the set of blockchain operations is attributed to the capability limited device.
