A building system of a building including one or more memory devices having instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to identify a capability of an entity in a building graph, the building graph including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, the plurality of nodes representing entities of the building including the entity and the capability, the plurality of edges representing relationships between the entities of the building and the capability. The instructions cause the one or more processors to receive a command to perform an operation associated with the entity, the operation associated with the capability of the entity and provide the command to perform the operation associated with the entity to an operating system.

Building data platform with graph based capabilities

A method including receiving, by one or more processing circuits, building data, generating, by the one or more processing circuits, a first digital twin based on the building data, wherein a first system stores the first digital twin and a second system stores a second digital twin generated based on the building data, where the first digital twin includes a relationship that forms a connection between the first digital twin and the second digital twin by linking a first entity of the first entities of the first digital twin and a second entity of the second entities of the second digital twin, and performing, by the one or more processing circuits, one or more operations based on at least one of the first digital twin, the second digital twin, or the relationship that forms the connection between the first digital twin and the second digital twin.

Building data platform with a distributed digital twin

A building system including one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive an event from an event source, the event comprising data and a timestamp. The building system operates to identify first contextual data describing the event in a digital twin, the digital twin comprising a virtual representation of a building, enrich the event with the first contextual data, and provide the enriched event to a consuming system, the consuming system generating an output event based on the enriched event. The building system operates to identify second contextual data describing the output event in the digital twin, enrich the output event with the second contextual data, and provide the enriched output event to the consuming system or another consuming system.

Building data platform with an enrichment loop

A building system of a building including one or more memory devices having instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to retrieve projection rules for generating a building graph projection. The instructions cause the one or more processors to retrieve a plurality of entities representing elements of the building and a plurality of relationships between the plurality of entities representing relationships between the plurality of entities, construct the building graph projection including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges based on the plurality of entities, the plurality of relationships, and the projection rules, and perform one or more operations based on the building graph projection.

One implementation of the present disclosure is a system including one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a selection including a context and a twin function and generate an operation to monitor a graph based on the context, the operation identifying whether one or more new events are added to the graph, the one or more new events affecting a processing result. The instructions cause the one or more processors to cause the twin function to execute responsive to identifying the one or more new events added to the graph that affect the processing result, execute the twin function based on the one or more new events and the context to generate the processing result.

Building data platform with context based twin function processing

A building system of a building including one or more memory devices having instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a request to access a portion of a building graph of the building from a system, the building graph including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, the plurality of nodes representing entities of the building and the plurality of edges representing relationships between the entities of the building. The instructions cause one or more processors to determine whether the system has access to the portion of the building graph based on a policy indicated by the plurality of nodes and edges of the building graph and provide the portion of the building graph to the system in response to a determination that the system has access to the portion of the building graph.

Building data platform with graph based permissions

Building data graph including application programming interface calls

A building system includes one or more memory devices comprising instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform one or more first operations based on a digital twin of a building. The instructions cause the one or more processors to update a schema of the digital twin by adding a property or tag to an entity class of the schema, add, based on the schema, one or more data elements representing the property or tag to the digital twin, the one or more data elements related to an entity of the entity class, and perform one or more second operations based on the one or more data elements representing the property or tag.

Building data platform with schema extensibility for properties and tags of a digital twin

A building system of a building including one or more memory devices having instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a modification to a graph, the graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges between the plurality of nodes, the plurality of nodes representing entities of the building and the plurality of edges representing relationships between the entities of the building. The instructions cause the one or more processors to generate a change feed event, the change feed event recording the modification to the graph and add the change feed event to a change feed comprising a plurality of change feed events representing modifications to the graph at a plurality of different times.

Building data platform with a graph change feed

A building system including one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to generate an event subscription for a consuming system, the event subscription defining events to be sent to the consuming system. The building system operates to receive an event from an event source, the event comprising data and a timestamp and identify contextual data describing the event in a digital twin, the digital twin comprising a virtual representation of a building. The building system operates to enrich the event with the contextual data and provide, based on the event subscription and the contextual data of the enriched event, the enriched event to the consuming system.

Building data platform with event subscriptions

An edge platform of a building communicatively coupled to a cloud system, the edge platform including one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon and one or more processors executing the instructions causing the one or more processors to receive an event from a piece of building equipment of the building, the event indicating a data value associated with the piece of building equipment occurring at a particular time, identify contextual data of a data structure that provides a contextual description of the event, generate an enriched event by enriching the event with the contextual data, the enriched event including the data value, the particular time, and the contextual data, and communicate the enriched event to the cloud system configured to operate based on the enriched event.
