    Abstract: A method for automatically commissioning and operating an HVAC system to serve energy loads of a building site is shown. The method includes querying site information describing the building site to identify physical equipment and relationships between the physical equipment. The method further includes constructing an asset allocator model, the asset allocator model indicating connections between the physical equipment and resources produced or consumed by the physical equipment. The method further includes generating a mapping between points of the physical equipment at the building site and corresponding variables of the asset allocator model. The method further includes using the asset allocator model to generate values of one or more control variables of the asset allocator model. The method further includes adjusting an operation of the physical equipment by triggering software elements to automatically push updated values of the control variables to corresponding points of the physical equipment.

    Abstract: A system controlling equipment to serve energy loads of a building includes a cost function generator configured to obtain a cost function of decision variables representing an amount of resources consumed or produced by the equipment, an optimizer configured to perform a first optimization of the cost function subject to a first set of constraints defining first values of constraint variables to generate a first result defining first values of decision variables, a constraint modifier configured determine a cost gradient, recommend changes to constraint variables, and modify constraint variables to modified values in response to changes. The optimizer is configured to perform an optimization of the cost function subject to a second set of constraints to generate a second optimization result defining second values of the decision variables. The system includes a controller that operates equipment to consume or produce resources defined by second values of the decision variables.

    Abstract: A building management system (BMS) includes a controller that monitors performance values for a controlled process during a first time period relative to initial outlier detection limits and generates new outlier detection limits for the controlled process in response to a detected change in the controlled process during the first time period. The controller monitors the performance values relative to the new outlier detection limits during a second time period to detect outliers during the second time period. The controller calculates a confidence difference for an estimated confidence parameter based on a number of outliers detected using the new outlier detection limits during the second time period. The controller adjusts the new outlier detection limits in response to the confidence difference dropping below a threshold value.

    Abstract: A building management system includes building equipment operable to affect a variable state or condition of a building and a control system configured to receive a user input indicating a model form. The model form includes a plurality of matrices having a plurality of elements defined in terms of a plurality of parameters. The control system is configured to parse the model form to generate a sequence of machine-executable steps for determining a value of each of the plurality of elements based on a set of potential parameter values, identify a system model by executing the sequence of machine-executable steps to generate a set of parameter values for the plurality of parameters, generate a graphical user interface that illustrates a fit between predictions of the identified system model and behavior of the variable state or condition of the building, and control the building equipment using the identified system model.
