A building management system (BMS) includes building equipment, an eventseries generator, and a storage interface. The building equipment are configured to generate a plurality of data samples. Each of the data samples includes a data value and a timestamp. The eventseries generator is configured to assign a sample state to each data sample based on the data value of the data sample and generate one or more events based on the timestamp of each data sample and the sample state assigned to each data sample. Each of the events includes a start time, an end time, and an event state. The eventseries generator is configured to generate an eventseries including the one or more generated events. The storage interface is configured to store the eventseries in an eventseries database.

Building management system with eventseries processing

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to detect an individual who enters into a lobby of a building, retrieve context information corresponding to the individual, update a user profile of the individual to indicate the individual has arrived at the building, and control one or more access control devices to grant the individual access to the building based on the context information.

Lobby management system

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive data corresponding to a first condition of a building component within a building, determine, based on the data, an actual or anticipated fault state of the building component, retrieve, from a graph data structure including a number of entities and a number of relationships between the entities, and wherein the graph data structure represents at least one of a space, person, component, or event, first context information corresponding to the building component and second context information corresponding to the building, and determine, based on the first and second context information, a service action for the building component.

Building automation system with fault analysis and component procurement

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to detect a vehicle that enters into a parking lot, identify an individual associated with the vehicle, retrieve context information corresponding to the individual, dynamically determine a first parking space based on the context information and available parking spaces, and provide the individual with directions to the first parking space.

Smart parking lot system

A building management system (BMS) includes building equipment configured to provide raw data samples of one or more data points in the BMS. The BMS further includes a data collector configured to collect raw data samples from the building equipment and generate one or more raw data timeseries comprising a plurality of the raw data samples. The BMS also includes a timeseries processing engine. The timeseries processing engine is configured to identify one or more timeseries processing workflows that apply to the raw data timeseries, each of the workflows comprising a predefined sequence of timeseries processing operation. The timeseries processing engine is further configured to process the raw data timeseries using the identified timeseries processing workflows to generate one or more derived data timeseries. The BMS further includes a timeseries storage interface configured to store the raw data timeseries and the derived data timeseries in a timeseries database.

Building management system with declarative views of timeseries data

A building campus with an integrated smart environment can provide frictionless access control and device management services among other benefits. A method for providing frictionless access control includes maintaining a directory of individuals associated with the building, receiving identity information related to an individual seeking authorization to enter an access point in the building from at least one access control device, identifying the individual by comparing the identity information to the directory, identifying a user device associated with the individual using the directory, sending an authorization request to the user device, and authorizing the individual to enter the access point upon completion of the authorization request. A system for providing device management services includes registering devices from different manufacturers to a directory and authorizing one or more users to access and monitor parameters associated with each device.

Building campus with integrated smart environment

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a request to hold a meeting in a building, the request including an individual, retrieve, from the request, contact information for the individual, transmit a request for identifying information to the individual using the contact information, determine a purpose of the individual based on the identifying information, generate a virtual ticket for the individual based on the purpose of the individual, identify a presence of the individual at the building based on the identifying information and image data, and control access control devices in response to identifying the presence of the individual to grant the individual access to the building.

Building automation system with visitor management

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a request to hold a meeting in a building, retrieve user preferences associated with an attendee of the meeting, dynamically determine meeting parameters associated with the meeting based on the request and the user preferences, identify one or more meeting parameters that deviate from the request or the user preferences, and transmit a notification indicating the identified one or more meeting parameters.

Conference room management system

The present disclosure is directed to a method for performing energy analytics in a building management system. The method can include collecting respective data samples of one or more variables from building equipment during a first period of time and a second period of time. The method can include calculating a first plurality of values for one or more energy audit metrics based on the data samples collected during the first period of time and the second period of time. The method can include comparing the first plurality of values and second plurality of values. The method can include displaying, based on the comparison, at least one of the first plurality of values and/or at least one of the second plurality of values on a dashboard to facilitate adjustment of the one or move variables.

Building energy management system with virtual audit metrics

A method for interacting with a building management system (BMS) using intelligent software agents. The method includes receiving a user request from a multi-input device configured to accept vocal and textual inputs, and contextualizing the user request for a space and/or place and a corresponding user. The method further includes constructing a user skill level from the user request, and activating a customized BMS optimization process, the customized BMS optimization process determined by the intelligent software agents from the user skill level, the user request, and the space and/or place.

Systems and methods for interaction with a building management system

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive, from a sensor, identifying information associated with an individual, query a database to retrieve context information corresponding to the individual, the database comprising a number of entities corresponding to two or more of spaces, equipment, people, or events and a number of relationships between the entities, the context information determined based on the entities and relationships of the database, determine a purpose of the individual based on the context information, dynamically generate a user interface element for a display based on the purpose of the individual, and control the display to display the user interface element.
