User-interactive tools and methods for configuring building equipment systems

A method for configuring a building equipment system, the method comprising:

• receiving a first user input comprising project information including an attribute of a prospective building equipment installation project;
• obtaining equipment configuration data for a plurality of building equipment components capable of being included in the building equipment system based on the project information;
• receiving a second user input comprising a selected subset of the plurality of building equipment components, the selected subset defining a configuration of the building equipment system;
• generating a predicted metric of the building equipment system based on the project information and the configuration of the building equipment system;
• generating a representative metric of a set of historical building equipment installation projects that satisfy the attribute of the prospective building equipment installation project;
• displaying, via a graphical user interface, the predicted metric of the building equipment system and the representative metric of the set of historical building equipment installation projects;
• and
• adjusting the configuration of the building equipment system based on the representative metric.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions thereon that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a first user input comprising project information including an attribute of a prospective building equipment installation project;
• obtain equipment configuration data for a plurality of building equipment components capable of being included in a building equipment system based on the project information;
• receive a second user input comprising a selected subset of the plurality of building equipment components, the selected subset defining a configuration of the building equipment system;
• generate a predicted metric of the building equipment system based on the project information and the configuration of the building equipment system;
• generate a representative metric of a set of historical building equipment installation projects that satisfy the attribute of the prospective building equipment installation project;
• display, via a graphical user interface, the predicted metric of the building equipment system and the representative metric of the set of historical building equipment installation projects;
• and
• adjust the configuration of the building equipment system based on the representative metric.
