Publication number: 20220058545Abstract: A building system of a building including one or more storage devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to generate one or more recommendations for improving one or more building scores, the one or more recommendations including a prediction of an increase to a level of the one or more building scores or a decrease to the level of the one or more building scores. The instructions cause the one or more processors to cause the display device of the user device of the user to display the one or more recommendations and receive, via the display device, a selection of one recommendation of the one or more recommendations via the display device from the user and operate the one or more building systems based on one or more operating settings of the one recommendation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Applicant: Johnson Controls Tyco IP Holdings LLPInventors: Ravindra Ramanand Warake, Shawn D.

Publication number: 20200201273Abstract: A building management system includes multiple different types of building equipment configured to serve different types of spaces in a building or campus and perform different building functions. The building management system includes a controller configured to determine a type of building equipment and/or a type of space to be monitored or controlled via a user interface and select a layout for the user interface from multiple different layouts based on the type of building equipment or the type of space to be monitored or controlled via the user interface. The selected layout is configured for use with multiple different building equipment having the type of building equipment or multiple different spaces having the type of space. The processing circuit is configured to generate the user interface by populating the selected layout with building equipment-specific information for a particular building equipment or space-specific information for a particular space.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2020Publication date: June 25, 2020Applicant: Johnson Controls Technology CompanyInventors: Ryan A. Piaskowski, Nicole A. Madison, Garrett Wiens-Kind, Beth A. Ray, Ann M. Cook
