Events Management

A building automation system comprising:

• a communication network compatible with at least one building automation system communication protocol;
• a control system coupled to the communication network;
• and
• a building automation server coupled to the communication network and configured to:
• receive at least one event message over the communication network from the control system in response to a corresponding condition occurring on the control system;
• access past event messages generated by the control system in response to past occurrences of the corresponding condition;
• and
• generate event alert data as a function of the received at least one event message and the retrieved past event messages, the event alert data identifying (i) a name of the corresponding condition, (ii) a real-time status of the control system, and (iii) a quantitative summary of the past occurrences of the corresponding condition.

A method for monitoring a building automation system comprising:

• receiving real-time data associated with a condition of a control system of the building automation system;
• accessing historical data indicating past occurrences of the condition of the control system;
• analyzing the historical data to generate a quantitative summary of the past occurrences of the condition of the control system;
• and
• transmitting the real-time data and the quantitative summary of the past occurrences to be displayed simultaneously as part of a graphical user interface on a computing device.
