Building management system with space-based and equipment-based notification system
A building management system (BMS) includes a storage device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include receiving an indication of an event relating to building equipment operable to serve spaces of a building, the indication identifying at least one of a space or a type of equipment associated with the event, determining, based on the indication, that the one or more criteria are satisfied for a first filter of a plurality of filters, each filter of the plurality of filters associated with a subset of users and specifying one or more criteria for satisfying the filter, the one or more criteria comprising at least one of a space criterion or an equipment criterion, and providing a notification of the event to the subset of users associated with the first filter in response to a determination that the one or more criteria are satisfied for the first filter.
1. A building management system (BMS) comprising:
a storage device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving an indication of an event relating to building equipment operable to serve spaces of a building, the indication identifying at least one of a space or a type of equipment associated with the event;
determining, based on the indication, that one or more criteria are satisfied for a first filter of a plurality of filters, each filter of the plurality of filters associated with a subset of users and the specifying the one or more criteria for satisfying the filter, the one or more criteria comprising at least one of a space criterion or an equipment criterion; and
providing a notification of the event to the subset of users associated with the first filter in response to a determination that the one or more criteria are satisfied for the first filter.
2. The BMS of claim 1 , wherein providing the notification comprises transmitting the notification to one or more user devices associated with the subset of users.
3. The BMS of claim 1 , wherein the space criterion requires that the event is associated with a particular space of the building and the equipment criterion requires that the event is associated with a particular device of the building equipment.
4. The BMS of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
receiving, from a user device associated with an administrator, a space authorization and an equipment authorization for each of a plurality of users; and
determining, based on the space authorization and the equipment authorization, the subset of users of the plurality of users associated with each of the plurality of filters.
5. The BMS of claim 1 , the operations further comprising providing a graphical user interface, wherein providing the notification comprises presenting the notification via the graphical user interface.
6. The BMS of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
receiving, from a user device associated with the subset of users and in response to the notification, a user input; and
controlling the building equipment according to the user input.
7. The BMS of claim 1 , wherein the notification is a first notification, the operations further comprising:
determining whether the first notification has been acknowledged after an amount of time; and
transmitting a second notification responsive to a determination that the first notification has not been acknowledged after the amount of time.
8. The BMS of claim 1 , the operations further comprising:
receiving a user input indicating a new filter; and
storing the new filter with the plurality of filters.
9. A method of providing a notification of an event relating to building equipment, the method comprising:
receiving an indication of the event, the indication identifying at least one of a space or a type of equipment associated with the event;
determining, based on the indication, that one or more criteria are satisfied for a first filter of a plurality of filters, each filter of the plurality of filters associated with a subset of users and specifying one or more criteria for satisfying the filter, the one or more criteria comprising at least one of space criterion or equipment criterion; and
providing a notification of the event to the subset of users associated with the first filter in response to a determination that the one or more criteria are satisfied for the first filter.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein providing the notification comprises transmitting the notification to one or more user devices associated with the subset of users.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the space criterion requires that the event is associated with a particular space of a building and the equipment criterion requires that the event is associated with a particular device of the building equipment.
12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving, from a user device associated with an administrator, a space authorization and an equipment authorization for each of a plurality of users; and
determining, based on the space authorization and the equipment authorization, the subset of users of the plurality of users associated with each of the plurality of filters.
13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising providing a graphical user interface, wherein providing the notification comprises presenting the notification via the graphical user interface.
14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving, from a user device associated with the subset of users and in response to the notification, a user input; and
controlling the building equipment according to the user input.
15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the notification is a first notification, the method further comprising:
determining whether the first notification has been acknowledged after an amount of time; and
transmitting a second notification responsive to a determination that the first notification has not been acknowledged after the amount of time.
16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving a user input indicating a new filter; and
storing the new filter with the plurality of filters.
17. A system comprising:
an event detection circuit configured to detect an event relating to building equipment and characterize the event as associated with at least one of a space of a building or a type of equipment;
a notification system configured to provide a notification of the event to one or more users of the building management system by:
storing a plurality of filters, each filter associated with one or more criteria for satisfying the filter, the one or more criteria comprising at least one of a space criterion or an equipment criterion;
receiving an indication of the event from the event detection circuit, the indication identifying at least one of the space or the type of equipment associated with the event;
determining, based on the indication, that the one or more criteria are satisfied for a first filter of the plurality of filters; and
providing the notification of the event to a first set of users associated with the first filter in response to a determination that the one or more criteria are satisfied for the first filter.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein providing the notification comprises transmitting the notification to one or more user devices associated with the first set of users.
19. The system of claim 17 , wherein the space criterion requires that the event is associated with a particular space of the building and the equipment criterion requires that the event is associated with a particular device of the building equipment.
20. The system of claim 17 , the notification system further configured to provide a graphical user interface, wherein providing the notification comprises presenting the notification via the graphical user interface.
