  • Electrical load validation for a smart space in a building
    Patent number: 12107702
    Abstract: A method/system monitors and controls operational aspects of devices in a space, for example a living, office or other human-occupied space or storage space, in a building, such as turning lights on/off, raising/lowering blinds, maintaining or changing temperature, and other operational aspects. Sensors monitor energy usage of the devices in the space, and a controller/engine compares the monitored energy usage with reference energy usage to validate whether the devices are performing as expected. A temperate set-versus-anomaly detection technique may use temperature set point adjustments by a user (during a timeframe) to determine whether an anomaly exists that requires changes in the central plant of the building.

  • Dynamic data threading system
    Patent number: 10929403
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to a dynamic data threading (“DDT”) system. According one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, the DDT system can query a source of a plurality of disparate sources and receive results from the source. The DDT system can determine, based upon the results, whether a further query is needed. The DDT system, in response to determining that the further query is needed, the DDT system can query a further source of the plurality of disparate sources based, at least in part, upon the results received from the source, and can receive further results from the further source.
