Systems and methods for displaying a unified representation of performance related data
First Claim
1. A method for displaying a unified representation of performance related data for a building, the method comprising:
- receiving a building information model that includes three-dimensional (3D) geometry data and metadata related to the building;
receiving sensor data that includes one or more values associated with the performance related data;
rendering a digital image that includes a representation of the 3D geometry data and a representation of the sensor data; and
causing the digital image to be displayed on a display device.

Abstract
A system and method for displaying a unified representation of performance related data for a building are disclosed. The system includes a sensor network for collecting data in the building and a computing device for generating and displaying a unified representation of performance related data on a display. The performance related data may include the raw data collected by the sensor network or data generated by simulation programs based on the raw data collected by the sensor network. The computing device displays the performance related data in the context of a graphical representation of a three-dimensional model of the building as defined in a building information model (BIM). The computing device generates the graphical representation using an ambient occlusion rendering technique and then incorporates the performance related data either using a direct rendering technique or a transient geometry technique.
