## Abstract

A spatial hierarchical model provides spatial context to a plurality of building control assets disposed within a plurality of hierarchical levels of the spatial hierarchical model. A method includes identifying non-compliance events detected by building control assets disposed at and below a particular hierarchical level of the spatial hierarchical model. The non-compliance events detected by building control assets disposed at and below the particular hierarchical level of the spatial hierarchical model over a period of time are aggregated and a healthy building dashboard that includes a representation of the aggregated non-compliance events for each of at least some of the one or more of the healthy building criteria detected by building control assets disposed at and below the particular hierarchical level of the spatial hierarchical model is generated and is displayed on a display.
