Abstract: A building energy management system includes building equipment, a data collector, an analytics service, a timeseries database, and an energy management application. The building equipment monitor and control one or more variables in the building energy management system and provide data samples of the one or more variables. The data collector collects the data samples from the building equipment and generates a data timeseries including a plurality of the data samples. The analytics service performs one or more analytics using the data timeseries and generates a results timeseries including a plurality of result samples indicating results of the analytics. The timeseries database stores the data timeseries and the results timeseries. The energy management application retrieves the data timeseries and the results timeseries from the timeseries database in response to a request for timeseries data associated with the one or more variables.

Abstract: A method for monitoring or controlling equipment of a building includes receiving a first timeseries comprising first data samples of a first variable monitored or controlled by a system and a second timeseries comprising second data samples of a second variable monitored or controlled by the system. The first data samples are at least partially asynchronous with the second data samples. The method includes synchronizing the first timeseries with the second timeseries by aggregating both the first timeseries and the second timeseries using equivalent aggregation intervals. Aggregating the first timeseries generates a third timeseries comprising aggregated values of the first variable and aggregating the second timeseries generates a fourth timeseries comprising aggregated values of the second variable. The method includes performing an automated operation to monitor or control the equipment of the building using the synchronized data samples of the third timeseries and the fourth timeseries.
