Integrated building environment data system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- a) operating a building automation system data acquisition infrastructure;
b) using the building automation system data acquisition infrastructure to obtain a first set of data pertaining to at least one building automation system, the at least one building automation system comprising at least one the group consisting of a fire safety system, a building security system and a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system;
c) obtaining at least a second set of data based on information generated by at least one device via a wireless sensor module, the second set of data being non-intersecting with the first set of data;
d) controlling the at least one building automation system using the first set of data and to the exclusion of the second set of data;
e) using the building automation system data acquisition infrastructure to provide access to at least the second set of data to an authorized user.

Abstract
A system for gathering date in a space includes a data server, a first wireless module operably connected to the data server, a first plurality of wireless sensor modules, and at least one other wireless sensor module. The first plurality of wireless sensors module are operable to generate sensor data relating to the control and operation of an HVAC system. The first plurality of wireless sensor modules are also operable to communicate the first sensor data to the first wireless module. The at least one other wireless sensor module is operable to generate second sensor data relating to at least one of the group consisting of light fixtures, architectural fixtures and plumbing fixtures, office equipment, and vending machines and furniture. The at least one other wireless sensor module is also operable to communicate the second sensor data to the first wireless module.
