Building management system with heuristics for configuring building spaces
First Claim
1. A building management system comprising:
- building equipment located within a building space;
at least one of a building management system (BMS) controller or a client device comprising one or more processing circuits having one or more processors and memory, the one or more processing circuits comprising;
a space controller configured to receive input from the building equipment and provide a control signal to the building equipment;
a floorplan geolocator configured to receive a map providing geolocation data and overlay a building floorplan onto the map;
a space geolocator configured to receive a first input defining a location of the building space relative to the floorplan and determine a geolocation of the building space using the geolocation data;
an equipment geolocator configured to receive a second input defining a location of the building equipment relative to the floorplan and determine a geolocation of the building equipment using the geolocation data; and
a parent space detector configured to use geometric heuristics and the geolocations of the building space and the building equipment to identify a spatial relationship between the building space and the building equipment;
wherein the space controller is configured to use the spatial relationship between the building space and the building equipment to generate the control signal provided to the building equipment.

Abstract
A building management system (BMS) includes building equipment located within a building space and a controller that receives input from the building equipment and provides a control signal to the building equipment. A floorplan geolocator receives a map providing geolocation data and overlays a building floorplan onto the map. A space geolocator receives an input defining a location of the building space relative to the floorplan and determines a geolocation of the building space using the geolocation data. A equipment geolocator receives an input defining a location of the building equipment relative to the floorplan and determines a geolocation of the building equipment using the geolocation data. A parent space detector uses geometric heuristics and the geolocations of the building space and the building equipment to identify a spatial relationship between the building space and the building equipment. The controller uses the spatial relationship to generate the control signal.

10. A method for establishing relationships between building spaces and building equipment in a building management system comprising at least one of a controller or a client device having one or more processors, the method comprising:
-
generating and providing, by the one or more processors, a control signal from the controller to building equipment located within a building space; overlaying, by the one or more processors, a building floorplan onto a map providing geolocation data; receiving, by the one or more processors, a first input defining a location of the building space relative to the floorplan and a second input defining a location of the building equipment relative to the floorplan; determining, by the one or more processors, a geolocation of the building space and a geolocation of the building equipment using the geolocation data; and identifying, by the one or more processors, a spatial relationship between the building space and the building equipment using geometric heuristics and the geolocations of the building space and the building equipment; using, by the one or more processors, the spatial relationship between the building space and the building equipment to generate the control signal provided to the building equipment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A building management system comprising:
-
building equipment located within a building space; at least one of a building management system (BMS) controller or a client device comprising one or more processing circuits having one or more processors and memory, the one or more processing circuits comprising; a space controller configured to receive input from the building equipment and provide a control signal to the building equipment; a space geolocator configured to receive a first input defining a location of the building space relative to a map and determine a geolocation of the building space using geolocation data provided by the map; an equipment geolocator configured to receive a second input defining a location of the building equipment relative to the map and determine a geolocation of the building equipment using the geolocation data provided by the map; and a parent space detector configured to use geometric heuristics to identify the building space as a parent space that contains the building equipment; wherein the space controller is configured to establish a control relationship between the building space and the building equipment in response to identifying the building space as the parent space and use the control relationship to generate the control signal provided to the building equipment. - View Dependent Claims (20)
