Abstract: A building management system includes a plurality of devices of building equipment that operate across multiple building equipment domains. Each of the plurality of devices serves one or more spaces. The building management system also includes a control engine configured to, for each space, associate the space with a first group of the plurality of devices. The first group includes multiple devices that serve the space and that operate across the multiple building equipment domains. The control engine is further configured to select a space profile from a plurality of space profiles. At least two of the space profiles are associated with a different type of space serving a different function, and at least two of the space profiles include settings for the multiple devices of the first group. The control engine is also configured to distribute the settings defined by the selected space profile to the multiple devices of the first group.

Abstract: A building management system includes one or more data sources that provide utilization data describing an actual utilization of one or more spaces and a utilization circuit. The utilization circuit is configured to, for each space of the one or more spaces, calculate a utilization attribute of the space based on the utilization data describing the actual utilization of the space, and retrieve, from a space profile for the space, a utilization target corresponding to the utilization attribute. At least two of the plurality of space profiles are associated with a different type of space that serves a different function and define the target utilization of the space. The utilization circuit is further configured to generate a normalized utilization metric for the space by normalizing the utilization attribute relative to the utilization target and generate and provide a utilization recommendation for the space based on the normalized utilization metric.

Abstract: A building management system includes a plurality of devices of building equipment and a control engine configured to, for at least one space of one or more spaces, associate the space with a group of the plurality of devices. The control engine is also configured to select a first space profile of a plurality of space profiles associated with a first type of space. The first space profile includes a plurality of modes each corresponding to a different functional state of the space. The control engine is also configured to select a mode of the plurality of modes of the first space profile, determine a setting of the set of settings of the first space profile based on the selected mode, and control the one or more devices that serve the space in accordance with the settings defined by the first space profile and the selected mode.

Abstract: A building management system includes a plurality of network-connected sensors installed in or around a place comprising at least one space. The building management system also includes a control engine configured to identify a space profile associated with the space. The space profile is one of a plurality of selectable space profiles for the space. At least two of the plurality of space profiles are associated with a different type of space serving a different function. The space profile includes one or more attributes for the space and a corresponding target value for each of the attributes. The control engine is also configured to receive and process data from the sensors to determine an actual value of each of the attributes and control one or more devices that serve the space to drive the actual value of each attributed toward the corresponding target value defined by the space profile.

Abstract: A building management system includes a communications bus, an old master controller device; and slave devices. The slave devices are configured to detect that the old master controller device has stopped communicating over the communications bus and to perform an algorithm to determine a new master controller device from the slave devices. The algorithm is based on a device identifier associated with each of the slave devices. The new master controller device is further configured to assume the functions of the master controller device. The functions of the master controller device include transmitting control signals to the slave devices.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system for facilitating communication between a plurality of building automation subsystems and a plurality of applications includes a first database storing a hierarchical model of a building automation system. The system further includes a messaging engine configured to receive a message from one of the disparate building automation subsystems and for one of the plurality of applications. The messaging engine is configured to use the information in the second database to transform the message into a standard format, to append the projected semantic type string to the transformed message, and to provide the transformed message to one of the plurality of applications.
