Abstract

A Building Management System (BMS) can include one or more memory devices that can store instructions thereon. The instructions, when executed by one or more processors, can cause the one or more processors to receive a first set of data corresponding to a plurality of parameters of one or more aspects of a building, generate a user interface including one or more graphical representations of one or more first values, receive a dataset corresponding to a Change of Value (COV) for at least one value of the one or more first values, and update at least one graphical representation of the one or more graphical representations to reflect the COV for the at one value of the one or more first values.

Claims (60)

1 . A Building Management System (BMS) comprising one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive a first set of data corresponding to a plurality of parameters of one or more aspects of a building, the first set of data including one or more first values;

generate, responsive to receipt of the first set of data, a user interface including one or more graphical representations of the one or more first values, the one or more graphical representations including selectable elements;

receive, from a computing device in communication with one or more pieces of building equipment of the building, a dataset corresponding to a Change of Value (COV) for at least one value of the one or more first values; and

update, responsive to receipt of the dataset, at least one graphical representation of the one or more graphical representations to reflect the COV for the at least one value of the one or more first values.

2 . The BMS of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first values correspond to information maintained in a first cache stored in memory of the computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to update the information maintained in the first cache based on a detection of one or more COVs, and wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

maintain, in a second cache stored in the one or more memory devices, a plurality of values corresponding to the plurality of parameters, the plurality of values provided by the computing device;

update, responsive to receipt of the first set of data, the second cache to reflect the one or more first values; and

update, responsive to receipt of the dataset, the second cache to reflect the COV for the at least one value of the one or more first values.

3 . The BMS of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

receive, responsive to updating the at least one graphical representation of the one or more graphical representations, an indication of a selection of at least one selectable element of the selectable elements, the at least one selectable element associated with a given aspect of the one or more aspects of the building; and

update, responsive to receipt of the indication, the user interface to include information associated with the given aspect of the one or more aspects of the building.

4 . The BMS of claim 1 , wherein the one or more graphical representations of the one or more aspects of the building include a heatmap of the building.

5 . The BMS of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to determine the COV based on:

a difference between the one or more first values and one or more second values stored in a cache of the computing device, and wherein the computing device is configured to communicate one or more subsequent COVs.

6 . The BMS of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

receive, from a user device, an indication of a predetermined range to define a difference between the one or more first values and one or more second values; and

provide, via a connection with the computing device, the indication of the predetermined range to cause the computing device to detect subsequent COVs based on given values that exceed the predetermined range.

7 . The BMS of claim 1 , comprising:

the first set of data comprising a first size;

the dataset comprising a second size; and

the second size less than the first size.

8 . The BMS of claim 1 , comprising:

the first set of data comprising a first number of bits; and

the dataset comprising a second number of bits less than the first number of bits.

9 . The BMS of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is an edge device located at the building, and wherein at least a portion of the BMS is stored via a server bank remote to the building.

10 . A method, comprising:

receiving, by one or more processing circuits, a first set of data corresponding to a plurality of parameters of one or more aspects of a building, the first set of data including one or more first values;

generating, by the one or more processing circuits, responsive to receipt of the first set of data, a user interface including one or more graphical representations of the one or more first values, the one or more graphical representations including selectable elements;

receiving, by the one or more processing circuits from a computing device in communication with one or more pieces of building equipment of the building, a dataset corresponding to a Change of Value (COV) for at least one value of the one or more first values; and

updating, by the one or more processing circuits responsive to receipt of the dataset, at least one graphical representation of the one or more graphical representations to reflect the COV for the at least one value of the one or more first values.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more first values correspond to information maintained in a first cache stored in memory of the computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to update the information maintained in the first cache based on a detection of one or more COVs, and comprising:

maintaining, by the one or more processing circuits in a second cache stored in one or more memory devices, a plurality of values corresponding to the plurality of parameters, the plurality of values provided by the computing device;

updating, by the one or more processing circuits responsive to receipt of the first set of data, the second cache to reflect the one or more first values; and

updating, by the one or more processing circuits responsive to receipt of the dataset, the second cache to reflect the COV for the at least one value of the one or more first values.

12 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:

receiving, by the one or more processing circuits responsive to updating the at least one graphical representation of the one or more graphical representations, an indication of a selection of at least one selectable element of the selectable elements, the at least one selectable element associated with a given aspect of the one or more aspects of the building; and

updating, by the one or more processing circuits responsive to receipt of the indication, the user interface to include information associated with the given aspect of the one or more aspects of the building.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more graphical representations of the one or more aspects of the building include a heatmap of the building.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the computing device is configured to determine the COV based on:

15 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:

receiving, by the one or more processing circuits from a user device, an indication of a predetermined range to define a difference between the one or more first values and one or more second values, wherein detection of a given value that exceeds the predetermined range causes the computing device to detect a subsequent COV.

16 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:

the first set of data comprising a first size;

the dataset comprising a second size; and

the second size less than the first size.

17 . The method of claim 10 , comprising:
