Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems for providing a diagnosis of a system of a building are described herein. One method includes displaying a system of a building, wherein the display of the system includes an identification of a particular component of the system, identifying, within the display of the system, a number of components of the system related to the particular component, and identifying, within the display of the system, a relationship between the particular component and the number of components and a relative operational status of the particular component and the number of components.
Claims17
A computer implemented method for providing a diagnosis of a system of a building, comprising:
- displaying a system of a building, wherein the display of the system includes an identification of a component of the system, wherein the identification of the component includes highlighting the component via color coding and animation;
- identifying, within the display of the system, a number of other components of the system related to the component, wherein identifying, within the display of the system, the number of other components of the system related to the component includes highlighting the number of other components in the display;
- and
- identifying, within the display of the system:
- a relationship between the component and the number of other components, wherein the relationship includes a number of connections between the component and the number of other components;
- and
- a relative operational status of the component and the number of other components, wherein the relative operational status of the component and the number of other components include operational conditions associated with the component and the number of other components, including at least one of temperature, air flow, humidity, air pollutants, liquid flow, and energy consumption.
A computing device for providing a diagnosis of a system of a building, comprising:
- a network interface;
- a peripheral interface;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
- provide a display of a system of a building, wherein the display of the system includes an identification of a component of the system, wherein the identification of the component includes highlighting the component via color coding and animation;
- identify, within the display of the system, a number of other components of the system related to the component and a relationship between the component and the number of other components, wherein the relationship includes a number of connections between the component and the number of other components, and wherein identifying, within the display of the system, the number of other components of the system related to the component includes highlighting the number of other components in the display;
- and
- provide, within the display of the system, an operational condition associated with the component, wherein the operational condition associated with the component is a temperature, air flow, humidity, air pollutants, liquid flow, or energy consumption associated with the component.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor to:
- provide a display of a system of a building, wherein the display of the system includes an identification of a component of the system and a problem associated with the component;
- identify, within the display of the system, a number of other components of the system related to the component, a chain of equipment that connects the component and the number of other components, and a temperature associated with the component and the number of other components;
- provide, within the display of the system, a number of actions to take in response to the problem associated with the component;
- receive a selection of the component or one of the number of other components;
- and
- provide, within the display of the system, additional information about the selected component, wherein the additional information includes at least one of:
- a status history of the selected component;
- a maintenance history of the selected component;
- and
- specification information of the selected component.
