Abstract

One implementation of the present disclosure is a method of providing multi-dimensional load data to a user. The method includes generating, by a processing circuit, a user interface that enables a user to configure one or more components in one or more dimensions; receiving, by the processing circuit, a user input requesting load data in a first dimension; generating, by the processing circuit, first dimensional load data for each component in the first dimension; and presenting, by the processing circuit, the first dimensional load data to the user.

Claims (66)

1. A method of providing multi-dimensional load data, the method comprising:

providing, by a processing circuit, a set of labels indicating a type of consumer, the set of labels comprising a tenant load, vacant load, and common load;

generating, by the processing circuit, a user interface that enables one or more users to label a plurality of meters of a building with labels indicating the type of consumer from the set of labels;

determining, by the processing circuit, a subset of the load data for a subset of the plurality of meters, the subset of the plurality of meters comprising one or more of the plurality of meters for which the labels indicate a first type of consumer; and

performing, by the processing circuit, an automated action based on the subset of the load data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

applying first labels to the plurality of meters, the first labels indicating a load type;

identifying, by the processing circuit, a fault in the building responsive to determining a load consumption associated with a first load type exceeds a threshold based on first load data collected from a first subset of the plurality of meters that are labeled with the first load type;

determining, by the processing circuit, the first type of consumer is associated with the fault based on the subset of the load data; and

presenting, by the processing circuit, the first type of consumer to a user,

wherein determining the subset of the load data is performed responsive to determining the load consumption associated with the first load type exceeds the threshold.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

labeling, by the processing circuit, the plurality of meters with identifications of tenants of the building that are associated with the plurality of meters;

determining, by the processing circuit, a first subset of the load data collected from the subset of the plurality of meters that are labeled with the first type of consumer according to the identifications of the tenants; and

identifying, by the processing circuit, a tenant as being associated with the fault based on the first subset of the load data.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising;

labeling, by the processing circuit, the plurality of meters with identifications of tenants of the building that are associated with the plurality of meters; and

identifying, by the processing circuit, a parent meter associated with a tenant and one or more child meters associated with the tenant,

wherein determining the subset of the load data comprises discarding load data generated by the one or more child meters associated with the tenant.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

labeling, by the processing circuit, a meter with a type of consumer label of vacant load responsive to determining the meter is not associated with a tenant.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the automated action comprises presenting the subset of the load data to a user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the subset of the load data for the subset of the plurality of meters comprises aggregating load data obtained from a first plurality of meters of the subset of the plurality of meters.

8. A building management system for generating and presenting multi-dimensional load data, the building management system configured to:

provide a set of labels indicating a type of consumer, the set of labels comprising a tenant load, vacant load, and common load;

generate a user interface that enables one or more users to label a plurality of meters of a building with labels indicating the type of consumer from the set of labels;

determine a subset of the load data for a subset of the plurality of meters, the subset of the plurality of meters comprising one or more of the plurality of meters for which the labels indicate a first type of consumer; and

perform an automated action based on the subset of the load data.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the building management system is further configured to:

apply first labels to the plurality of meters, the first labels indicating a load type;

identify a fault in the building responsive to determining a load consumption associated with a first load type exceeds a threshold based on first load data collected from a first subset of the plurality of meters that are labeled with the first load type;

determine the first type of consumer is associated with the fault based on the subset of the load data; and

present the first type of consumer to a user,

wherein the building management system is configured to determine the subset of the load data responsive to determining the load consumption associated with the first load type exceeds the threshold.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the building management system is further configured to:

label the plurality of meters with identifications of tenants of the building that are associated with the plurality of meters;

determine a first subset of the load data collected from the subset of the plurality of meters that are labeled with the first type of consumer according to the identifications of the tenants; and

identify a tenant as being associated with the fault based on the first subset of load data.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the building management system is further configured to:

label the plurality of meters with identifications of tenants of the building that are associated with the plurality of meters; and

identify a parent meter associated with a tenant and one or more child meters associated with the tenant,

wherein the building management system is configured to determine the subset of the load data by discarding load data generated by the one or more child meters associated with the tenant.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the building management system is further configured to label a meter with a type of consumer label of vacant load responsive to determining the meter is not associated with a tenant.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the building management system is configured to perform the automated action by presenting the subset of the load data to a user.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the building management system is further configured to:

apply first labels to the plurality of meters, the first labels indicating a load type, wherein the load type comprises one of HVAC, lighting, plug load, or IT.

15. A building management system for managing a graphical user interface and operating one or more pieces of building equipment, the system comprising:

one or more pieces of building equipment configured to control an environmental condition of a building; and

a processing circuit configured to:

provide a set of labels indicating a type of consumer, the set of labels comprising a tenant load, vacant load, and common load;

generate a user interface that enables one or more users to label a plurality of meters of a building with labels indicating the type of consumer from the set of labels;

determine a subset of the load data for a subset of the plurality of meters, the subset of the plurality of meters comprising one or more of the plurality of meters for which the labels indicate a first type of consumer; and

perform an automated action based on the subset of the load data.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

apply first labels to the plurality of meters, the first labels indicating a load type;

identify a fault in the building responsive to determining a load consumption associated with a first load type exceeds a threshold based on first load data collected from a first subset of the plurality of meters that are labeled with the first load type;

determine the first type of consumer is associated with the fault based on the subset of the load data; and
