1. A method for modeling building resources, the method including the steps of:

  • (a) receiving data indicative of a plurality of points, each point including data indicative of an item name, data indicative of a containment parent, and data indicative of an operational state;

    (b) for the plurality of points, on the basis of their respective data indicative of containment parents, generating a construct indicative of a hierarchical structure wherein each point is nested beneath its containment parent;

    (c) in the case that, for a given one of the points, the data indicative of an operational state meets predefined characteristics, associating an alarm condition with that point;

    (d) upwardly aggregating alarm conditions in the hierarchical structure such that an alarm condition associated with a given one of the points is identifiable based on one or more points beneath which that point is nested.
