Abstract: A planning tool used to facilitate more efficient design of a central plant is configured to provide an advanced user interface. The user interface includes a symbol palette with selectable symbols that represent resource suppliers, subplants, energy loads, and resource storage devices associated with a central plant. The user interface allows users to drag these symbols onto a workspace and form various connections between the symbols. The user interface provides feedback to the user and prevents improper connections by evaluating user inputs according to a set of rules. The rules define valid relationships between the resource suppliers, subplants, energy loads, and resource storage devices. The user interface also allows users to specify equipment contained within the subplants. After a central plant model is created via the user interface, users can simulate operation of a central plant according to the model for planning, budgeting, and/or design considerations.

Abstract: A method includes generating, by a processing circuit, a building component tree for the graphical user interface, wherein the building component tree comprises one or more draggable building components and one or more non-draggable building components and causing, by the processing circuit, the graphical user interface to include the building component tree comprising the draggable building components and the non-draggable building components. The method includes receiving, by the processing circuit via the graphical user interface, a selection of one of the one or more draggable building components and a user interaction dragging the one of the one or more draggable building components into a window of the graphical user interface.
