Abstract

A building system operates to receive a first building health indicator indicating a health level of the building and a second building health indicator indicating the health level of the building, the first building health indicator generated based on a first methodology defined by a first entity and the second building health indicator generated based on a second methodology defined by a second entity different from the first entity, the first building health indicator and the second building health indicator generated based on building data. The building system operates to generate user interface data configured to cause a user device to display a user interface indicating the first building health indicator and the second building health indicator together on a display of the user device.

7. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

generate a recommendation, the recommendation indicating one or more updates to the building;

determine a first change to the first building health indicator resulting from the one or more updates to the building;

determine a second change to the second building health indicator resulting from the one or more updates to the building; and

cause the user interface to include an indication of the recommendation, the first change, and the second change.

8. The building system of claim 7 , wherein at least one of:

the first change and the second change are both increases; or

the first change is an increase and the second change is a decrease.

9. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

record first values of the first building health indicator and second values of the second building health indicator over time;

generate a user interface element trending the first values of the first building health indicator and the second values of the second building health indicator over time; and

cause the user interface to include the user interface element.

10. The building system of claim 9 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

generate one or more first predictions of the first building health indicator at one or more future times based on the first values;

generate one or more second predictions of the second building health indicator at one or more future times based on the second values; and

cause the user interface element to extend a first trend of the first building health indicator to the one or more future times with the one or more first predictions and extend a second trend of second building indicator to the one or more future time with the one or more second predictions.

11. A method for a building that includes a plurality of pieces of building equipment that control one or more environmental conditions of the building based on operational settings, the method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processing circuits, a first building health indicator indicating a health level of the building and a second building health indicator indicating the health level of the building, the first building health indicator generated based on a first methodology defined by a first entity and the second building health indicator generated based on a second methodology defined by a second entity different from the first entity, the first building health indicator and the second building health indicator generated based on building data, wherein at least a portion of the building data corresponds to at least one physical parameter affected by control of the one or more environmental conditions of the building;

determining, by the one or more processing circuits, at least one first setting for a first environmental condition of the building and at least one second setting for a second environmental condition of the building, the first setting and the second setting balancing two or more building health indicators of the building;
