  • Publication number: 20250109744
    Abstract: A controller for one or more pumps in a central plant is configured to obtain first values of flow rate of a fluid provided by the one or more pumps to a building or campus and corresponding first values of a pressure differential across the building or campus during a first time period, generate a system curve for the building or campus that defines a relationship between the flow rate and the pressure differential using the first values of flow rate and pressure differential during the first time period, predict a second value of the pressure differential across the building or campus during a second time period using the system curve and a second value of the flow rate during the second time period, and operate the one or more pumps to achieve the second value of the pressure differential across the building or campus during the second time period.

  • Publication number: 20240385576
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by one or more processors, user input describing characteristics of a central utility plant for a building, the user input comprising textual or audible input, identifying, by the one or more processors, a plurality of pieces of building equipment satisfying the characteristics of the user input using an AI model based on the user input, and generating, by the one or more processors using the AI model, a central utility plant model for the central utility plant based on the textual or audible input. The central utility plant model satisfies the characteristics and includes the identified pieces of building equipment.

  • Publication number: 20220229945
    Abstract: A system includes processors configured to perform operations including obtaining a base design resource production of a building asset and a base resource production data set comprising a base resource production of the building asset at a plurality of operating points, calculating a scaled resource production data set comprising a scaled resource production of the building asset at the plurality of operating points by scaling the base resource production data set based on a new design resource production of the building asset relative to the base design resource production of the building asset, generating a resource consumption data set comprising a resource consumption of the building asset at the plurality of operating points based on the scaled resource production data set, and initiating an automated action based on the scaled resource production data set and the resource consumption data set.
