Building automation system with an energy optimization builder and generic data model designer

A method for generating a building model for a building by a building management system for operating building equipment of the building, the method comprising:

• receiving, via the building management system, a context, wherein the context comprises metadata defining the building model for the building;
• generating, via the building management system, a building model editor interface for viewing and editing the context, wherein the building model editor interface comprises building elements for the building model, wherein the building elements are based on the context and represent the building equipment;
• receiving, by the building management system, user edits of the context via the building model editor interface, wherein the user edits comprise edits to the building elements;
• generating, by the building management system, an updated context based on the user edits of the context;
• and
• deploying, by the building management system, the updated context to control environmental conditions of the building with the building equipment based on the updated context.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having machine instructions stored therein, the instructions being executable by a processor of a building management system of a building to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving a context, wherein the context comprises metadata defining a building model for the building;
• generating a building model editor interface for viewing and editing the context, wherein the building model editor interface comprises building elements for the building model, wherein the building elements are based on the context and represent building equipment of the building;
• receiving user edits of the context via the building model editor interface, wherein the user edits comprise edits to the building elements;
• generating an updated context based on the user edits of the context;
• deploying the updated context to control environmental conditions of the building with the building equipment based on the updated context;
• generating an optimization problem based on the user edits of the context;
• performing the optimization problem to generate control settings for the building equipment;
• and
• operating the building equipment based on the control settings.
