  • Publication number: 20230185297
    Abstract: A system includes equipment operable to affect, monitor, or control one or more variable states or conditions in a building. The system further includes circuitry configured to perform a plurality of performance checks for the equipment, determine a plurality of individual performance check indicators based on the plurality of performance checks using a plurality of first weights determined based on different timings, generate an overall performance index for the equipment using the plurality of individual performance check indicators and a plurality of second weights, and initiate or execute a preventative maintenance action for the equipment based on the overall performance index.

  • Patent number: 11630453
    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating performance index for connected equipment in a building management system are provided. The connected equipment measures monitored variables and generates status codes. The system obtains data points of the monitored variables and the status codes from past N time units, and connected equipment specific parameters. The system performs first performance checks for the connected equipment using the status codes from the past N time units. The system performs second performance checks using the data points of the monitored variables from the past N time units, the connected equipment specific parameters, and a set of predetermined rules. The system determines individual performance check indicators based on the first performance checks and the second performance checks using first weights each determined based on a different timing. The system generates an overall performance index for the connected equipment using the individual performance check indicators and second weights.

  • Publication number: 20230047122
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining an actual value of a condition affected by operating the building equipment, operating the building equipment using a setpoint for the condition, calculating a stability index based on a timeseries of errors between the actual value and the setpoint, comparing the stability index to a criterion, in response to the stability index satisfying the criterion, executing an action relating to the building equipment, and in response to the stability index not satisfying the criterion, not executing the action.
