Systems and methods of optimizing HVAC control in a building or network of buildings

A computer-implemented system for controlling an environmental condition of a building, comprising:

• an edge computing device comprising a processor and connected to a building management system (BMS) of the building;
• a plurality of sensors located within the building;
• a remote server in communication with said edge computing device over a network;
• wherein the system is configured to:
• receive, at said edge computing device, real-time sensor data from said plurality of sensors located within the building;
• receive, at said edge computing device, real-time operational data from the BMS of the building for a plurality of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) components of the building, the HVAC components comprising a heating component, an air conditioning (AC) component, and a ventilation component;
• translate, by said edge computing device, said real-time sensor data and said real-time operational data to an open format;
• transmit, by said edge computing device to said remote server, said translated real-time sensor data and said translated real-time operational data;
• predict a plurality of operating parameters for one or more of the HVAC components based on a plurality of algorithms combining a thermodynamic behavior model of the building and the real-time sensor data and the real-time operational data, wherein a first set of said plurality of algorithms relating to micro parameter values is executed by said edge computing device, and wherein at least a second set of said plurality of algorithms relating to macro parameter values, is executed by said remote server;
• generate, based on the respective plurality of operating parameters for each of the one or more of the HVAC components, a respective set of commands for each of the one or more HVAC components by executing at least one of:
• a heating modulation algorithm using the respective plurality of operating parameters for the heating component;
• an AC modulation algorithm using the respective plurality of operating parameters for the AC component;
• and
• a ventilation modulation algorithm using the respective plurality of operating parameters for the ventilation component;
• and
• transmit, by said edge computing device, the respective set of commands for each of the one or more of the HVAC components to at least one controller for implementing a respective control sequence for operating each of the one or more of the HVAC components.
