摘要： A method for determining network topology of a provider network includes selecting a first network element, selecting a first port on the first network element, and iteratively performing connectivity validation tests using the first port, wherein each connectivity validation test is associated with a type of network element and yields a result that indicates whether a second port on a second network element of the associated type is connected to the first port. A system for discovering topology of a network, the system comprising a topology discovery engine in operable communication with a near network element and operable to identify a first port of a far network element that is connected to a second port of the near network element by remotely altering operation of the near network element to cause the second network element to respond in a manner that identifies the first port.

摘要： A system for monitoring thermal comfort of a room. Sensor data concerning temperature, relative humidity, air speed and air flow may be collected from the room. The sensor data may provide thermal comfort level information about the room. The level information may be quantified in terms of a thermal comfort level index, such as a predicted mean vote, which can be used to identify one or more thermal comfort levels in the room with a numerical measure. The one or more levels may be portrayed as a visualization in terms of a 3D plot of temperature, humidity and air speed, several 2D plots, a dashboard, or other items. The visualization may easily enable one to see where setpoint adjustment is possible in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system to save energy while maintaining thermal comfort acceptable to occupants in the room, whether during a heating season or a cooling season.

摘要： An approach for monetizing performance of building system equipment such as HVAC equipment. Expected and actual performance curves may be obtained for the HVAC equipment. Differences between the curves may indicate energy consumption. The energy consumption may be monetized. The monetizing may be of degradation that occurs when the equipment deteriorates, incurs a fault or has a loss of performance as accrued over time. Monetizing may incorporate maintenance and capital risk exposure. The monetizing may be a conversion of analyses of the equipment to money in real time. Performance monitoring of the equipment may incorporate predictive trending which may lead to fault prognosis and preventative maintenance. Automation of the conversion may result in immediate information and feedback to customers. The information may be stored for historical purposes and future analyses.

摘要： A method and system for providing an integrated building summary dashboard application. The dashboard can be implemented, for example, as a Rich Internet Application (RIA), which integrates with multiple data sources. A data warehouse can be utilized to consolidate and store the data related to a particular dashboard. The dashboard can be configured by integrating high-level metrics with key performance indicators to provide an overview, which can then be granularized to provide detailed information. The dashboard can also be configured to include a data chart that provides a “glimpse” of information associated with key performance indicators. The data chart can be configured to utilize a target bar as input to an interactive what-if analysis, and an output can be utilized to automatically drive control automation system changes.
