Abstract: A building management system for generating a building model for a building and operating building equipment of the building based on the building model. The system includes a processing circuit configured to receive a context, wherein the context includes metadata defining the building model for the building and generate a building model editor interface for viewing and editing the received context, wherein the building model interface includes building elements for the building model, wherein the building elements are based on the received context and represent the building equipment. The processing circuit is configured to receive user edits of the context via the building model interface, wherein the user edits include edits to the building elements, generate an updated context based on the user edits of the context, and deploy the updated context to control environmental conditions of the building with the building equipment based on the updated context.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing an economic model predictive control (EMPC) strategy in any resource-based system include an EMPC tool. The EMPC tool is configured to present user interfaces to a client device. The EMPC tool is further configured to receive first user input including resources and subplants associated with a central plant. The EMPC tool is also configured to receive second user input including sinks and connections between central plant equipment. The EMPC tool also includes a data model extender configured to extend a data model to define new entities and/or relationships specified by user input. The EMPC tool also includes a high level EMPC algorithm configured to generate an optimization problem and an asset allocator configured to solve the resource optimization problem in order to determine optimal control decisions used to operate the central plant.

Abstract: A method for verifying and running a script for a building management system of a building includes receiving, by the building management system, the script, wherein the script indicates one or more operations to be performed with one or more data points of a data model of the building, determining, by the building management system, whether there is unit cohesion within the received script, wherein the unit cohesion indicates that a result value of executing the script with the one or more data points include units that match desired units, and determining, by the building management system, the result value by executing the script with the one or more data points in response to determining that there is unit cohesion.

Abstract: A central plant includes at least a first subplant and a second subplant configured to serve a thermal energy load of a building. A controller for the central plant includes an equipment staging detector configured to detect a staging event for equipment of the second subplant and to determine when the staging event occurs. The controller includes a subplant staging evaluator configured to use input from the equipment staging detector to determine whether a predetermined time period has elapsed since the staging event for the equipment of the second subplant has occurred. The controller includes a subplant staging preventer configured to prevent the first subplant from staging equipment of the first subplant in response to a determination that the predetermined time period has not elapsed since the staging event for the equipment of the second subplant has occurred.
