Abstract
A network switch includes a device interface configured to facilitate communication between the network switch and a plurality of building devices that serve a space, network routing circuitry configured to route network communications associated with the building devices in accordance with one or more network parameters, a control circuit configured to control the plurality of devices via the network communications to provide a plurality of space use cases for the space. and a network manager circuit configured to determine values for the one or more network parameters based on the plurality of space use cases for the space.
Claims20
A building system of a building comprising one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon that, when execute by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- cause one or more building devices associated with a building space of the building to operate based on a first space use case, wherein the first space use case includes one or more first operating parameters that cause the one or more building devices to control one or more conditions of the building space, wherein the one or more first operating parameters cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space allowing the building space to be used by occupants for an intended purpose for which the building space was designed;
- receive an indication to operate the one or more building devices based on a second space use case;
- and
- cause the one or more building devices associated with the building space of the building to operate based on the second space use case, wherein the second space use case includes one or more second operating parameters that cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space, wherein the one or more second operating parameters cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space allowing the building space to be used by the occupants for a purpose other than the intended purpose for which the building space was designed.

A method for a building comprising:
- causing, by a processing circuit, one or more building devices associated with a building space of the building to operate based on a first space use case, wherein the first space use case includes one or more first operating parameters that cause the one or more building devices to control one or more conditions of the building space, wherein the one or more first operating parameters cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space allowing the building space to be used by occupants for an intended purpose for which the building space was designed;
- receiving, by the processing circuit, an indication to operate the one or more building devices based on a second space use case;
- and
- causing, by the processing circuit, the one or more building devices associated with the building space of the building to operate based on the second space use case, wherein the second space use case includes one or more second operating parameters that cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space, wherein the one or more second operating parameters cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space allowing the building space to be used by the occupants for a purpose other than the intended purpose for which the building space was designed.
1 more element
A building system of a building comprising:
- one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions causing the one or more processors to:
- cause one or more building devices associated with a building space of the building to operate based on a first space use case, wherein the first space use case includes one or more first operating parameters that cause the one or more building devices to control one or more conditions of the building space, wherein the one or more first operating parameters cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space to support a first objective that one or more occupants perform first actions within the building space to achieve;
- receive an indication to operate the one or more building devices based on a second space use case;
- and
- cause the one or more building devices associated with the building space of the building to operate based on the second space use case, wherein the second space use case includes one or more second operating parameters that cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space, wherein the one or more second operating parameters cause the one or more building devices to control the one or more conditions of the building space to support a second objective that the one or more occupants perform second actions within the building space to achieve.
