    Abstract: A computer system provides a method for analyzing various parameters, variables and/or conditions associated with the operation of HVAC systems. Some example computer systems display a coordinate system with multiple graphs of variables and conditions having disparate units of measure, such as degrees Centigrade, percent, ppm, on/off, etc. In some examples, variables and conditions with similar units of measure are grouped together. The groups of similar units are plotted along different segments of the coordinate system's y-axis. The segments and their respective graphs of similar units are distributed vertically, one above the other. All of the graphs, however, share a common x-axis, which is labeled in units of time. This makes it easier to visually compare multiple, disparate variables and conditions at particular points in time. When an HVAC related problem occurs, the visual comparisons can help identify the problem and its source.

    Abstract: A method for determining a measure of thermal energy delivered via a VAV box includes receiving an AHU supply air temperature, a VAV discharge air temperature, a space air temperature, and a VAV discharge flow rate. The measure of thermal energy delivered by the VAV box to the space during the first period of time is determined based at least in part on three or more of the received parameters. The determined measure of thermal energy delivered by the VAV box and a determined measure of thermal energy delivered by each of a plurality of other VAV boxes of the facility are aggregated over the first period of time, resulting in an aggregated measure of thermal energy. This may be used to adjust one or more control parameters to achieve a desired balance of energy consumption versus comfort, energy and/or health.
