    Abstract: A Building Management System (BMS) is configured to monitor and control building equipment. The BMS includes a number of sensors configured to transmit input data associated with the building equipment. The BMS further includes a condition based maintenance scheduler configured to determine a number of potential problems associated with the building equipment based on the input data. The condition based maintenance scheduler determines the number of potential problems by comparing the input data to a set of conditions. The BMS is further configured to schedule a number of maintenance events associated with the building equipment based on the number of potential problems.

    Abstract: A system for generating and using a predictive model to control building equipment includes building equipment operable to affect one or more variables in a building and an operating data aggregator that collects a set of operating data for the building equipment. The system includes an autocorrelation corrector that removes an autocorrelated model error from the set of operating data by determining a residual error representing a difference between an actual output of the building equipment and an output predicted by the predictive model, using the residual error to calculate an autocorrelation for the model error, and transforming the set of operating data using the autocorrelation. The system includes a model generator module that generates a set of model coefficients for the predictive model using the transformed set of operating data and a controller that controls the building equipment by executing a model-based control strategy that uses the predictive model.

    Abstract: A system for detecting faults in building equipment includes an integration fault detector, a kernel density fault detector, and a fault detector selector. The integration fault detector is configured to detect faults in the building equipment by analyzing time series data using an integration fault detection technique. The kernel density fault detector is configured to detect faults in the building equipment by analyzing the time series data using a kernel density estimation fault detection technique. The fault detector selector is configured to select the integration fault detector or the kernel density fault detector for use in detecting faults in the building equipment based on an attribute of the time series data.

    Abstract: An operating data aggregator module collects a first set of operating data and a second set of operating data for building equipment. A model generator module generates a first set of model coefficients and a second set of model coefficients for a predictive model for the building equipment using the first set of operating data and the second set of operating data, respectively. A test statistic module generates a test statistic based on a difference between the first set of model coefficients and the second set of model coefficients. A critical value module calculates critical value for the test statistic. A hypothesis testing module compares the test statistic with the critical value using a statistical hypothesis test to determine whether the predictive model has changed. In response to a determination that the predictive model has changed, a fault indication may be generated and/or the predictive model may be adaptively updated.

    Abstract: A method for determining a stability of a building device includes receiving time series data from building equipment regarding a first operational parameter of the building equipment, determining, for one or more time steps of the time series data, a deviation between a setpoint and a recorded value of the first operational parameter, calculating, for the one or more time steps, a trapezoidal area based on an absolute value of the deviation and a length of a time step, calculating a stability index value for the building equipment by summing the trapezoidal areas for a subset of the one or more time steps over a time horizon, and initiating an automated response based on the stability index value.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating performance index for connected equipment in a building management system are provided. The connected equipment measures monitored variables and generates status codes. The system obtains data points of the monitored variables and the status codes from past N time units, and connected equipment specific parameters. The system performs first performance checks for the connected equipment using the status codes from the past N time units. The system performs second performance checks using the data points of the monitored variables from the past N time units, the connected equipment specific parameters, and a set of predetermined rules. The system determines individual performance check indicators based on the first performance checks and the second performance checks using first weights each determined based on a different timing. The system generates an overall performance index for the connected equipment using the individual performance check indicators and second weights.
