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 system for allocating resources across equipment that operate to serve one or more loads of a building. The system includes one or more memory devices storing instructions that cause one or more processors to receive operational data defining at least one of planned loads to be served by the equipment or utility rates for one or more time steps within a simulation period, determine whether the operational data define the planned loads or the utility rates for each time step within the simulation period, and in response to a determination that the operational data do not define the planned loads or the utility rates for each time step within the simulation period, identify one or more time steps for which the planned loads or the utility rates are not defined and initiate an action to define the planned loads or the utility rates for the identified time steps.
