Abstract
The present disclosure describes a solution to monitor, control and share HVAC operation state information and the analysis thereof based on a distributed computing system involving local building automation servers (BAS), a network based (cloud-based) system and client terminals. On the network based system, a client level virtual machine launches a container process for a client, which includes a background sub-process and a foreground sub-process. The background sub-process collects and analyzes HVAC data without client interaction. The foreground sub-process is setup upon the launching of the container process, but is fully activated until suitable client interaction is detected. The foreground sub-process pushes for a more comprehensive set of HVAC operation data through the BAS server and analyzes and presents the data and analysis result in substantially real time to the client through the client terminal with a higher data updating rate than the background sub-process.
