Methods and systems for generating a summary of a proposed building automation system

A method for identifying a quantity of each of a plurality of different building automation system components needed to implement a proposed building automation system, the method comprising:

• storing one or more schedule tables for at least part of the proposed building automation system;
• applying Optical Character Recognition to the one or more schedule tables, resulting in one or more text readable schedule tables;
• providing the one or more text readable schedule tables to a Large Language Model;
• prompting the Large Language model to generate the quantity of each of the plurality of different building automation system components needed to implement a proposed building automation system based at least in part on one or more of the text readable schedule tables;
• and
• outputting the quantity of each of the plurality of different building automation system components needed to implement a proposed building automation system.

A method for generating an IO summary for at least part of a proposed building automation system based at least in part on a sequence of operation that describes how the proposed building automation system is to operate, the method comprising:

• storing a master standard library of different building automation system components, wherein the master standard library includes a sequence of operation and an IO summary for each of the different building automation system components;
• providing the sequence of operation that describes how the proposed building automation system is to operate, along with the master standard library of different building automation system components, to a Large Language Model;
• prompting the Large Language model to generate the IO summary for at least part of the proposed building automation system based at least in part on the sequence of operation that describes how the proposed building automation system is to operate and the master standard library of different building automation system components;
• and
• outputting the IO summary.
