Systems and methods for managing building signature intelligent electronic devices

A building signature system, comprising:

• at least one building signature intelligent electronic device (BSIED) comprising a memory device and a processor coupled to the memory device, the processor and the memory device configured to:
• receive building signature input data (BSID) having building signature parameters from one or more building signature data sources (BSDSs);
• perform one or more of monitoring and/or control functions to monitor and/or control the BSID;
• process the received BSID using a current building signature operational model (BSOM) stored on the memory device to generate building signature operational data (BSOD), wherein the BSOM is a high-level software application that is executed by a controller of the BSIED, using an operating system, such that operation of the BSIED is uninterrupted when the BSOM is updated, and
• transmit the BSOD to a cloud-connected central processing unit communicatively coupled to the at least one BSIED;
• the cloud-connected central processing unit configured to:
• process the BSOD to identify the at least one BSIED from which the BSOD was received, and to determine if the BSOM currently associated with the at least one BSIED needs to be updated;
• in response to determining that the current BSOM needs to be updated, select a new BSOM for the at least one BSIED based, at least in part, on one or more characteristics associated with the at least one BSIED;
• and
• transmit the new BSOM to the at least one BSIED for installation on the at least one BSIED.
