A mobile application is configured to be installed on at least one mobile device. The mobile application is configured to cause the mobile device to interface with the building server and to display a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI includes an elevator pane configured to allow a user to interface with a building elevator control system. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A building control system comprising: a plurality of interconnected building systems; a mobile application configured to be installed on at least one mobile device, and configured to cause the at least one mobile device to interface with the building server and to display a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the GUI includes an elevator pane configured to allow a user to interface with a building elevator control system. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The building control system of claim 1, wherein the building systems include a heating ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system, a lighting system, and an access/reservation system. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The building system of claim 1, wherein each of the building systems is interconnected via at least one building server. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The building control system of claim 1, wherein the GUI includes a location pane configured to display a location of the mobile device within a building, a comfort pane configured to display an increase option and a decrease option, a lighting pane configured to display a lighting option of the location of the mobile device and to display a lighting control option, and an access pane configured to display access information of at least one entryway of the building. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The building control system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the building server and the mobile application include a memory storing at least one preferred elevator, and wherein the mobile application defaults to selecting the preferred elevator in response to multiple entryways being on the same floor as the mobile device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The building control system of claim 1, wherein the mobile application further includes a user credentialing system configured to interface with the building server, and determine an access level credential of a user of the mobile device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The building system of claim 6, wherein the GUI includes a login screen, and wherein the user is required to gain access level credentials from the building server through the mobile device prior to the GUI displaying the elevator pane. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The building system of claim 7, wherein the user is required to provide biometric verification to gain access level credentials. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The building system of claim 1, wherein the elevator pane includes at least one desired floor button, with each desired floor button corresponding to a destination floor. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The building system of claim 9, wherein the elevator pane further includes a drop down menu configured to display a complete list of floors to which the user has access. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The building system of claim 10, wherein each floor that the user is not authorized to access is omitted from the complete list of floors. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The building system of claim 10, wherein each floor that the user is not authorized to access is included in the complete list of floors and is visually distinct from a remainder of floors. ### Claim 13 A mobile application for controlling smart building systems comprising: a graphical user interface including; a location pane configured to display a location of the mobile device within a building; an elevator pane configured to display a recommended elevator based on a user's location within the building and the user's desired floor; and an access pane configured to display access information of at least one entryway of the building. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The mobile application of claim 13, wherein the elevator pane includes a display indicating a current floor of the user and a plurality of buttons indicating possible destination floors. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The mobile application of claim 14, wherein the plurality of buttons is a set of preferred floors based at least in part on one of a user entered listing of preferred floors and the user's past locations within the building. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The mobile application of claim 13, wherein the location of the mobile device within the building is a contextually determined location and the location is determined via at least one of data from the mobile device, data from a building server. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The mobile application of claim 13, further comprising a single search option configured to receive one of a conference room name, a point of interest name, a point of interest type, floor number and a user name and cause the mobile application to perform a corresponding search. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The mobile application of claim 17, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to display a recommended elevator bank in response to receiving a floor number. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The mobile application of claim 18, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to display a map directing the user to the recommended elevator bank. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The mobile application of claim 18, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to prompt the user to confirm a switch from the recommended elevator bank to a different elevator bank in response to the user moving toward the different elevator bank.
