Abstract: A method for controlling energy usage of one or more building devices associated with a building space including determining, by the one or more processing circuits based on a simulation, penalties associated with the one or more varied operating values of the one or more building devices, wherein the penalties indicate user behavior that causes energy inefficiency of the one or more building devices, and selecting, by the one or more processing circuits, one or more optimal operating values from the varied one or more operating values based on one or more future environmental conditions and a number of the penalties associated with each of the one or more varied operating values.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by an edge controller, data relating to a first space. The edge controller controls operation of an edge device affecting a characteristic of the first space and that is associated with a first building equipment domain. The method further includes analyzing, by the edge controller, the data to determine whether the data satisfies a condition. If the condition is satisfied, the edge controller controls operation of the edge device using the data. If the condition is not satisfied, the edge controller (a) transmits a request to a cloud controller to analyze the data based on information obtained by the cloud controller regarding at least one of a second space or a second building equipment domain, (b) receives a response to the request from the cloud controller, and (c) controls operation of the edge device using the response from the cloud controller.

Abstract: A building system including one or more memory devices configured to store instructions thereon, the instructions causing one or more processors to receive building data from one or more building data sources, identify, based on the building data, an indirect relationship between a first entity and a second entity of a space graph, the indirect relationship caused by a control algorithm of the space graph, update the space graph with the indirect relationship by causing the space graph to include an indirect relationship edge between a first node of nodes representing the first entity and a second node of the nodes representing the second entity, update the control algorithm of the space graph based on the indirect relationship edge, and operate one or more pieces of building equipment based on the updated control algorithm.

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 web services platform includes an entity database, a software defined gateway, and an entity service. The entity database stores a plurality of interconnected smart entities including object entities representing a plurality of physical devices, people, or spaces and data entities representing data associated with the plurality of physical devices, people, or spaces. The smart entities are interconnected by relational objects indicating relationships between the object entities and the data entities. The software defined gateway is configured to receive information technology (IT) data and operational technology (OT) data from a plurality of different data sources. The entity service is configured to create a new smart entity in the entity database or update an existing smart entity in the entity database using the IT data and the OT data. The new or existing smart entity includes one or more first attributes having values derived from the IT data and one or more second attributes having values derived from the OT data.

Abstract: One or more non-transitory computer readable media contain program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including generating a database of interconnected smart entities. The smart entities include sensor object entities representing each of the plurality of sensors and data entities representing measurements received from the sensors. The smart entities are interconnected by relational objects indicating relationships between the smart entities. The instructions cause the one or more processors to receive a new measurement from a first sensor, identify a first data entity from a relational object for the first sensor, the first data entity including a plurality of past measurements received from the first sensor, and modify the first data entity within the database of smart entities to include the new measurement received from the first sensor.

Abstract: A building management system (BMS) includes building equipment configured to provide raw data samples of data points in the BMS, a data collector configured to generate raw data timeseries including raw data samples from the building equipment, and a timeseries processing engine. The timeseries processing engine is configured to identify an initial timeseries processing workflow that applies to the raw data timeseries, identify other data timeseries required as inputs to the initial timeseries processing workflow, and generate an enriched timeseries processing workflow that includes the initial timeseries processing workflow, the raw data timeseries, and the other data timeseries. The timeseries processing engine is configured to execute the enriched timeseries processing workflow to generate a derived data timeseries. The BMS further includes a timeseries storage interface configured to store the raw data timeseries and the derived data timeseries in a timeseries database.
