HVAC system with data driven user interfaces for equipment commissioning and operation

A method for creating a data driven user interface for a building management system, the method comprising:

• operating a plurality of HVAC devices to affect a physical state or condition;
• detecting a fault condition at a second HVAC device affected by the physical state or condition and having causal relationships with the plurality of HVAC devices such that faulty operation of one or more of the plurality of HVAC devices causes a detectable effect at the second HVAC device;
• identifying, based on the fault condition, a fault causation template selected from a plurality of fault causation templates corresponding to multiple different fault conditions, the fault causation template corresponding to the fault condition and comprising a plurality of system parameters of the plurality of HVAC devices that are potential causes of the fault condition;
• retrieving operating data for the plurality of system parameters;
• populating the fault causation template with the operating data;
• and
• transmitting a signal to display a user interface comprising the fault causation template populated with the operating data on a display screen.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• operating a plurality of HVAC devices to affect a physical state or condition;
• detecting a fault condition at a second HVAC device affected by the physical state or condition and having causal relationships with the plurality of HVAC devices such that faulty operation of one or more of the plurality of HVAC devices causes a detectable effect at the second HVAC device;
• identifying, based on the fault condition, a fault causation template selected from a plurality of fault causation templates corresponding to multiple different fault conditions, the fault causation template corresponding to the fault condition and comprising a plurality of system parameters of the plurality of HVAC devices that are potential causes of the fault condition;
• retrieving operating data for the plurality of system parameters;
• populating the fault causation template with the operating data;
• and
• transmitting a signal to display a user interface comprising the fault causation template populated with the operating data on a display screen.
