    Abstract: A variable refrigerant flow system for a building includes a plurality of indoor units, a first outdoor unit, an outdoor meter, and a variable refrigerant flow management system. The plurality of indoor units configured to generate activation requests. The first outdoor unit is configured to receive the activation requests and, in response to the activation requests, provide a refrigerant to the plurality of indoor units. The outdoor meter is configured to provide an outdoor unit electricity consumption measurement. The variable refrigerant flow management system is configured to receive the outdoor unit electricity consumption measurement and activation data indicating the activation requests and apportion an outdoor share of the outdoor electricity consumption measurement to each of the plurality of indoor units based on the activation data.

    Abstract: A system includes a communications interface communicably coupled to a computing environment and a client device corresponding to a first tenant of a plurality of tenants of the computing environment. The computing environment includes a plurality of resources, at least one resource being accessible by the client device, and a processing circuit including a processor and memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including generating a multi-organization token for the at least one resource based on credentials corresponding to the first tenant, receiving a request to access the at least one resource in the computing environment, the request including the first tenant-specific token, determining whether the first tenant-specific token is valid, and providing access to the at least one resource in the computing environment responsive to a determination that the first tenant-specific token is valid.

    Abstract: A building management system is communicably connected to an energy blockchain network to reduce energy costs of a building. The system includes an energy load balancer to distribute energy from a plurality of energy suppliers to power a load in the building, a processor, and memory storing instructions that causes the processor to: monitor energy pricing data from each of the energy suppliers; calculate a balanced load payload corresponding to an energy demand forecast for the building according to the energy pricing data from the energy suppliers; generate a smart contract corresponding to the balanced load payload in blocks of the energy blockchain network to procure energy from corresponding ones of the energy suppliers; and generate load balancing instructions for the energy load balancer based on the smart contract. The energy load balancer switches between the corresponding ones of the energy suppliers according to the load balancing instructions.
