Building system with a building model editor

A method for generating and editing a building model for a building, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processing circuit, the building model and one or more algorithms controlling one or more conditions of the building based on the building model, wherein the building model comprises data defining the building and building equipment of the building configured to control a condition of the building;
• generating, by the processing circuit, a building model editor interface for viewing and editing the building model, wherein the building model editor interface comprises building elements for the building model that represent the building and the building equipment;
• receiving, by the processing circuit, user edits of the building model via the building model editor interface, wherein the user edits comprise edits to the building elements;
• generating, by the processing circuit, an updated building model based on the user edits of the building model;
• providing, by the processing circuit, the one or more algorithms and the updated building model as separate inputs to a simulation of the one or more conditions of the building;
• performing, by the processing circuit, the simulation of the one or more conditions by running the one or more algorithms against the updated building model, wherein performing the simulation comprises executing the one or more algorithms to generate a dispatch for controlling the conditions of the building based on input data associated with the building, wherein the input data are inputs to the one or more algorithms, the dispatch is an output of the one or more algorithms, and the one or more algorithms use the updated building model to generate the dispatch based on the input data;
• and
• causing, by the processing circuit, a user interface to indicate a result of the simulation.
