Systems and methods for reducing health risks with respect to an infectious disease in buildings. Health data for an infectious diseases is used to determine a health risk level for building spaces and individuals in the building. An air handling action or a disinfection action is performed based on the health risk level.

Air quality control and disinfection system

A controller for a building including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include parsing a computer-aided design (CAD) file or a building information model (BIM) file for the building to identify building equipment that operates to affect a variable state or condition of a zone of the building. The operations include generating one or more zone models describing one or more control relationships between the building equipment and the variable state or condition of the zone based on the CAD file or the BIM file. The operations include using the one or more zone models to perform a model-based operation for the building equipment.

Building control system with automatic control problem formulation using building information model

An environmental control system for a building space including heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) equipment that operates to control a temperature of the building space. The system includes lighting equipment that operates to control a luminosity and affect a heat load disturbance for the building space. The system includes an environmental controller including a processing circuit configured to predict the heat load disturbance based on potential operating states of the lighting equipment over a time period. The heat load disturbance affects the temperature of the building space. The processing circuit is configured to generate control decisions for the HVAC and lighting equipment based on the predicted heat load disturbance and subject to constraints on the temperature and luminosity of the building space. The processing circuit is configured to operate the HVAC and lighting equipment based on the control decisions.

Systems and methods for controlling and predicting heat load disturbances

A smart edge controller for building equipment that operates to affect a variable state or condition within a building. The controller includes processors and non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations including obtaining sensor data indicating environmental conditions of the building and include determining an amount of available processing resources at the smart edge controller or at the building equipment. The operations include automatically scaling a level of complexity of an optimization of a cost function based on the available processing resources and include performing the optimization of the cost function at the automatically scaled level of complexity to generate a first setpoint trajectory. The first setpoint trajectory includes operating setpoints for the building equipment at time steps within an optimization period. The operations include operating the building equipment based on the first setpoint trajectory.
