Building Automation Programming Using UI Representations of Physical Models

A computer implemented method comprising:

• a controller with a processor, memory, and a display apparatus accepting a representation of a physical structure;
• the controller accepting a predefined unit model representation from a list of predefined unit models displayed on a display apparatus;
• the controller accepting placement of the predefined unit model representation into the representation of the physical structure;
• and
• the controller creating a control system for the physical structure, the predefined unit model representation, and the controller representation, wherein the predefined unit model representation is represented as being wired to the controller.

A computer-readable storage medium configured with data and with instructions that upon execution by at least one processor in a controller system will cause the at least one processor to perform a technical process for creating a user-guided wiring system, the process comprising:

• a controller accepting a predefined unit model from a list of predefined unit models displayed on a display apparatus;
• the controller accepting placement of the predefined unit model into a representation of a physical structure;
• and
• the controller creating a control system for the physical structure, the predefined unit model, and the controller model, wherein the predefined unit model is represented as being wired to the controller.
