Temperature set versus anomaly detection for a smart space in a building

A system, comprising:

• a controller;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the controller and having instructions stored thereon, which in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform or manage performance of operations to:
• receive a first user input that specifies a first temperature set point for a smart space in a building, wherein the heating and cooling in the building is respectively provided by heated and chilled water circulated in a pre-installed piping system provided by a central plant of the building;
• change an actual temperature in the space towards the first temperature set point;
• while changing the actual temperature towards the first temperature set point, receive at least a second user input that specifies an adjustment from a current temperature set point to at least a second temperature set point for the smart space in an attempt to more quickly achieve the first temperature set point;
• in response to an actual temperature in the space having reached the first temperature set point, determine whether a time to reach the first temperature set point is above a reference average time;
• and
• in response to determination that the time to reach the first temperature set point is above the reference average time, send a first alert to instruct a temperature set point adjustment at the central plant.
