  • Systems and methods for interfacing with a building management system
    Patent number: 11698610
    Abstract: A building management system (BMS) interface system. The BMS interface system includes a user interface and a BMS controller in communication with the user interface. The BMS controller includes a processor. The processor is configured to display a graphical scheduling interface on the user interface and receive a scheduling input from the user interface. The processor is further configured to extract one or more scheduling elements from the received scheduling input and convert the scheduling elements into one or more BMS data objects. The processor is further configured to update the graphical scheduling interface displayed on the user interface. The processor is also configured to execute one or more scheduling instructions based on the received scheduling input, wherein the scheduling instructions are associated with the operation of one or more BMS devices.

  • UNIFIED BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH MECHANICAL ROOM CONTROLS
    Publication number: 20200125084
    Abstract: A building management system including building equipment operable to affect a variable state or condition of a building and a control system including a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive asset data relating to operation of the building equipment. The processing circuit is configured to identify a building device of the building equipment in a fault state based on the asset data. The processing circuit is configured to generate a work order in response to identifying the building device in the fault state. The work order indicates a required maintenance action and a maintenance time window. The processing circuit is configured to automatically populate fields of the work order based on the fault state. The processing circuit is configured to provide the work order to a user device.
