Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for matching a building automation algorithm to a building automation system are described herein. One device includes a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to select a building automation algorithm from a pre-defined library of building automation algorithms, determine whether the selected building automation algorithm matches a building information model associated with the building automation system, and output, upon the selected building automation algorithm matching the building information model, the selected algorithm.
Claims19
A method for matching a configurable algorithm to a particular piece of equipment of a building automation system, wherein the building automation system is represented by a building information model, comprising:
- storing a library of configurable algorithms, wherein each configurable algorithm in the library of configurable algorithms includes:
- a self-description that specifies a type of equipment;
- and
- one or more requirements that include a listing of required variables;
- selecting one or more of the configurable algorithms from the library of configurable algorithms for the particular piece of equipment in the building automation system, wherein the one or more selected configurable algorithms have at least part of their self-description, including the specified type of equipment, that matches a description of the particular piece of equipment in the building information model;
- configuring the one or more selected configurable algorithms for use with the particular piece of equipment of the building management system;
- and
- controlling the building automation system using at least one of the configured one or more selected configurable algorithms.
A method for matching a configurable algorithm for implementing a virtual sensor for a particular part of a building automation system, wherein the building automation system is represented by a building information model, comprising:
- storing a library of configurable algorithms for implementing virtual sensors, wherein each configurable algorithm includes:
- a self-description that specifies a part of a building automation system;
- and
- one or more requirements that include a listing of required variables;
- selecting one or more of the configurable algorithms from the library of configurable algorithms to implement the virtual sensor for the particular part of a building automation system, wherein the one or more selected configurable algorithms have at least part of their self-description, including the specified part of the building automation system, that matches a description of the particular part of the building automation system in the building information model;
- outputting the selected one or more configurable algorithms;
- and
- controlling the building automation system using one of the selected configurable algorithms.
A computing device for matching a building automation algorithm to a building automation system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
- select two or more building automation algorithms from a pre-defined library of building automation algorithms that each include a self-descriptive specification that matches predefined self-description specification requirements of the building automation system;
- prioritize the two or more selected building automation algorithms;
- and
- output one or more of the selected algorithms based on the prioritization for use in operating the building automation system.
