Abstract: A web services platform includes a data collector and a timeseries service. The data collector is configured to collect feedback samples provided by one or more sensors of a building management system and generate one or more feedback timeseries including a plurality of the feedback samples. The timeseries service is configured to identify a feedback control workflow that uses the feedback timeseries as an input and defines one or more processing operations to be applied to the feedback samples of the feedback timeseries, perform the one or more processing operations defined by the feedback control workflow to generate a control signal timeseries including a set of control signal samples, and provide a control signal including at least one of the control signal samples or the control signal timeseries as an output to controllable building equipment of the building management system that operate using the control signal as an input.

Abstract: A building system includes one or more storage devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive an unstructured user question from a user device of a user and query a graph database based on the unstructured user question to extract context associated with the unstructured user question from contextual information of a building stored by the graph database, wherein the graph database stores the contextual information of the building through nodes and edges between the nodes, wherein the nodes represent equipment, spaces, people, and events associated building and the edges represent relationships between the equipment, spaces, people, and events. The instructions further cause the one or more processors to retrieve data from one or more data sources based on the context and compose a presentation based on the retrieved data.

Abstract: A method for interacting with a building management system (BMS) using intelligent software agents. The method includes receiving a user request from a multi-input device configured to accept vocal and textual inputs, and contextualizing the user request for a space and/or place and a corresponding user. The method further includes constructing a user skill level from the user request, and activating a customized BMS optimization process, the customized BMS optimization process determined by the intelligent software agents from the user skill level, the user request, and the space and/or place.

Abstract: A building system for operating a building and managing private building information includes a processing circuit configured to receive a request for information for a building entity of a building entity database. The processing circuit is configured to select one of the mask templates from the entity database based on access values associated with the requesting device and a relational link between the building entity and the mask templates, retrieve private information for the building entity in response to a reception of the request for the information, and generate a masked information data structure based on the private information and the one of the mask templates.

Abstract: A building management system (BMS) includes building equipment, a data collector, a sample aggregator, and an application. The building equipment is operable to monitor and control a variable in the BMS and to provide raw data samples of the variable. The data collector is configured to collect the raw data samples from the building equipment and generate a raw data timeseries including a plurality of the raw data samples. The sample aggregator is configured to automatically generate a data rollup timeseries including a plurality of aggregated data samples. The aggregated data samples are generated by aggregating the raw data samples as the raw data samples are collected from the building equipment. Both timeseries are stored in a timeseries database. The application is configured to retrieve the raw data timeseries and the data rollup timeseries from the timeseries database in response to a request for timeseries data associated with the variable.
