Abstract: A computer system provides a method for analyzing various parameters, variables and/or conditions associated with the operation of HVAC systems. Some example computer systems display a coordinate system with multiple graphs of variables and conditions having disparate units of measure, such as degrees Centigrade, percent, ppm, on/off, etc. In some examples, variables and conditions with similar units of measure are grouped together. The groups of similar units are plotted along different segments of the coordinate system's y-axis. The segments and their respective graphs of similar units are distributed vertically, one above the other. All of the graphs, however, share a common x-axis, which is labeled in units of time. This makes it easier to visually compare multiple, disparate variables and conditions at particular points in time. When an HVAC related problem occurs, the visual comparisons can help identify the problem and its source.

Abstract: A multi-site Building Management System (BMS) monitors performance of a local BMS at each of a plurality of remote sites. The multi-site BMS includes a controller that is configured to determine a plurality of local performance metrics associated with each local BMS based on the operational data received from each local BMS and to aggregate like ones of the plurality of local performance metrics, resulting in a plurality of aggregated performance metrics. The controller is configured to display on the display a plurality of panels, to display in each of the plurality of panels the corresponding one of the plurality of aggregated performance metrics and to display in each of the plurality of panels a ranking of one or more of the remote sites by their corresponding local performance metric.

Abstract: A method for determining an energy score for a guest room of a hotel having a plurality of guest rooms includes identifying two or more energy saving conditions associated with the guest room under which there is an opportunity to save energy when controlling the guest room without sacrificing guest comfort. The guest room is controlled in a designated energy savings mode when one or more of the energy savings room conditions are detected, and controlling the guest room in a guest comfort mode when none of the energy savings room conditions are detected. An energy score for the guest room is determined based at least in part on a measure of reliability of detecting the two or more energy savings conditions of the guest room, and thus the ability to take advantage of the opportunities to save energy when controlling the guest room.

Abstract: A system provides for evaluating a hotel guest's satisfaction of a hotel, the hotel including a plurality of guest rooms, the hotel guest staying in a guest room of the plurality of guest rooms in the hotel. The system includes one or more sensors within the guest room that are configured to provide data points indicative of guest activities in the guest room, the one or more sensors operably coupled to a hotel network within the hotel. A server is remote from the guest room and is configured to receive the data points from the one or more sensors via a connection to the hotel network and to use the data points to calculate a guest satisfaction score for the guest room. The server is configured to display the guest satisfaction score.
