Abstract

A system for managing energy usage of equipment in a building network includes one or more processing circuits configured to select a plurality of points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network; perform a bulk modification of the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network by providing a bulk modification command via the building network; analyze time series data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network using values provided via the bulk modification; and manage energy usage of the equipment based on a result of analyzing the time series data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

Claims (50)

1. A system for managing energy usage of equipment in a building network, the system comprising one or more processing circuits configured to:

select a plurality of points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network;

perform a bulk modification of the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network by providing a bulk modification command via the building network;

analyze time series data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network using values provided via the bulk modification; and

manage energy usage of the equipment based on a result of analyzing the time series data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein performing the bulk modification comprises applying attributes to the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein:

applying the attributes comprises applying name attributes to the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network; and

analyzing the time series data comprises filtering the points, equipment, spaces, or objects by the name attributes and analyzing the time series data associated with a filtered subset of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein:

applying the attributes comprises applying at least one of an alarm limit attribute, a warning offset attribute, or an alarm setup attribute to the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network; and

managing the energy usage of the equipment comprises trigging an alarm or warning based on values of the time series data and values of the alarm limit attribute, the warning offset attribute, or the alarm setup attribute.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein managing the energy usage of the equipment comprises generating a trend report comprising the time series data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein managing the energy usage of the equipment comprises determining control actions for the equipment and providing commands to the equipment based on the control actions.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein selecting the plurality of points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network comprises:

performing a search of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network based on one or more filter criteria; and

selecting a filtered subset of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network returned as results of the search.

8. A method for managing energy usage of equipment in a building network, the method comprising:

selecting a plurality of points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network;

performing a bulk modification of the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network by providing a bulk modification command via the building network;

analyzing time series data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network using values provided via the bulk modification; and

managing energy usage of the equipment based on a result of analyzing the time series data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein performing the bulk modification comprises applying attributes to the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

applying the attributes comprises applying name attributes to the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network; and

analyzing the time series data comprises filtering the points, equipment, spaces, or objects by the name attributes and analyzing the time series data associated with a filtered subset of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein:

applying the attributes comprises applying at least one of an alarm limit attribute, a warning offset attribute, or an alarm setup attribute to the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network; and

managing the energy usage of the equipment comprises trigging an alarm or warning based on values of the time series data and values of the alarm limit attribute, the warning offset attribute, or the alarm setup attribute.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein managing the energy usage of the equipment comprises generating a trend report comprising the time series data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein managing the energy usage of the equipment comprises determining control actions for the equipment and providing commands to the equipment based on the control actions.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein selecting the plurality of points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network comprises:

performing a search of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network based on one or more filter criteria; and

selecting a filtered subset of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network returned as results of the search.

15. A system for bulk modification and management of points, equipment, spaces, or objects of a building network, the system comprising one or more processing circuits configured to:

select a plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network;

perform a bulk modification of the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network by providing a bulk modification command via the building network;

analyze operating data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network using values provided via the bulk modification; and

initiate an automated action based on a result of analyzing the operating data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein:

performing the bulk modification comprises applying name attributes to the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network; and

analyzing the operating data comprises filtering the points, equipment, spaces, or objects by the name attributes and analyzing the operating data associated with a filtered subset of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein:

performing the bulk modification comprises applying at least one of an alarm limit attribute, a warning offset attribute, or an alarm setup attribute to the plurality of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network; and

initiating the automated action comprises trigging an alarm or warning based on values of the operating data and values of the alarm limit attribute, the warning offset attribute, or the alarm setup attribute.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein initiating the automated action comprises generating a trend report comprising the operating data associated with the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein initiating the automated action comprises determining control actions for the equipment and providing commands to the equipment based on the control actions.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein selecting the plurality of points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network comprises:

performing a search of the points, equipment, spaces, or objects of the building network based on one or more filter criteria; and
