US 11,888,676 B2 · Building management system with control framework

Abstract

Systems and methods for automatically commissioning and operating a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system for a building site are provided. An exemplary method includes constructing a model using physical equipment of the HVAC system and relationships between the physical equipment. The model indicates connections between the physical equipment and one or more resources produced or consumed by the physical equipment. The method includes generating a mapping between points of the physical equipment at the building site and corresponding variables of the model, using the model to generate values of one or more control variables of the model, and operating the physical equipment by providing the values of the control variables to corresponding points of the physical equipment based on the mapping.

Dependent claims

A method for automatically commissioning and operating physical equipment to serve energy loads of a site, the method comprising:

querying site information describing the site to identify the physical equipment and relationships between the physical equipment, wherein the physical equipment are installed at the site;
constructing a model using the physical equipment and the relationships between the physical equipment, the model indicating connections between the physical equipment and one or more resources produced or consumed by the physical equipment to serve the energy loads of the site;
generating a mapping between points of the physical equipment and corresponding variables of the model;
using the model to generate values of one or more control variables of the model;
and
operating the physical equipment by providing the values of the control variables to corresponding points of the physical equipment based on the mapping.
