A spatial hierarchical model is built by accepting user input to add and name each of one or more first level spaces at a first level of the spatial hierarchical model and to select a selected one of the first level spaces of the spatial hierarchical model and add and name each of one or more child level spaces that are spatially part of the selected first level space at a second level of the spatial hierarchical model. A graphical representation of one or more of the first level spaces and one or more corresponding child level spaces is displayed along with a listing of at least some of the plurality of building control assets. User input is accepted to assign selected building control assets from the listing of at least some of the plurality of building control assets to a selected child level space.
