Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for creating a domain visualization are described herein. One method includes receiving a selection of a particular visualization template from a plurality of visualization templates, receiving instance information associated with a domain specified by the template from an instance source, receiving operating information from at least one instance of the domain, and displaying a visualization of the domain using the template, the instance information, and the operating information.
Claims18
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to:
- store a plurality of facility domain visualization templates, wherein the plurality of facility domain visualization templates includes:
- a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) domain visualization template having a first ontology and a first set of display elements associated with an HVAC domain;
- an energy domain visualization template having a second ontology and a second set of display elements associated with an energy domain;
- and
- a domain visualization template having a third ontology and a third set of display elements associated with a plurality of facility domains;
- provide an interface configured to allow a user to modify a domain visualization of an HVAC domain created from the HVAC domain visualization template, wherein the interface includes:
- a first portion configured to display the visualization;
- a second portion configured to provide the first set of display elements used to modify the visualization, each of the first set of display elements associated with a respective device type of an HVAC system of a facility;
- a third portion configured to allow modification of non-displayed elements of the HVAC domain visualization;
- and
- a fourth portion configured to allow modification of selected ones of the first set of display elements of the visualization;
- determine that operating information associated with the HVAC system and received from at least one device of the HVAC system corresponds to an HVAC domain instance of the visualization, the operating information comprising real-time information describing an operation of at least one facility device and including at least one of a measurement, setting, status, and condition of the at least one facility device;
- and
- create an HVAC domain visualization using the operating information, wherein the HVAC domain visualization includes the selected ones of the first set of display elements.

A method for creating a domain visualization, comprising:
- receiving a selection of a particular facility domain visualization template from a plurality of facility domain visualization templates, wherein the plurality of facility domain visualization templates includes a facility domain visualization template having a first set of display elements associated with a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning domain, a facility domain visualization template having a second set of display elements associated with an energy domain, and a facility domain visualization template having a third set of display elements associated with a plurality of facility domains;
- receiving instance information associated with a domain specified by the particular facility domain visualization template from an instance source;
- receiving operating information from at least one instance of the facility domain, the operating information comprising real-time information describing an operation of at least one instance of the facility domain and including at least one of a measurement, setting, status, and condition of the at least one instance of the facility domain;
- and
- displaying a visualization of the facility domain using the particular facility domain visualization template, the instance information, and the operating information.

A system for creating a domain visualization, comprising:
- a plurality of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system devices, the plurality of devices including a pump, a valve, an air handling unit, and a fan;
- and
- a computing device configured to receive operating information associated with the HVAC system devices, the operating information comprising real-time information describing an operation of the HVAC system devices and including at least one of a measurement, setting, status, and condition of each of the HVAC system devices, the computing device including:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor to:
- determine that the operating information corresponds to an HVAC domain;
- select an HVAC domain visualization template from a plurality of facility domain visualization templates based on the determined HVAC domain, wherein the plurality of facility domain visualization templates includes the HVAC domain visualization template having a first set of display elements, an energy domain visualization template having a second set of display elements, and a facility visualization template having a third set of display elements associated with a plurality of facility domains;
- and
- display the operating information using the first set of display elements according to the HVAC domain visualization template and at least one user-defined preference.
