Abstract

A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer program product are provided for dynamic tagging to create logical models and optimize caching in energy management systems. A set of variables is aggregated for a first facility in response to first selections via the user interface. A set of variables for a second facility is aggregated in response to second selections via the user interface. The number of the set of variables for the first facility differs from the number of the set of variables for the second facility. The aggregation for the first facility is output as part of a first facility model via the user interface. The aggregation for the first facility is identified by a tag. The aggregation for the second facility is output as part of a second facility model via the user interface. The aggregation for the second facility is identified by the tag.

Claims

1. A system for dynamic tagging to create logical models and optimize caching in energy management systems, the system including:

a computer;

a memory;

a user interface; and

a computer program stored in the memory and executable by the computer to;

aggregate a set of variables for a first facility in response to first selections via the user interface;

aggregate a set of variables for a second facility in response to second selections via the user interface, wherein the number of the set of variables for the first facility differs from the number of the set of variables for the second facility;

output the aggregation for the first facility as part of a first facility model via the user interface, wherein the aggregation for the first facility is identified by a tag; and

output the aggregation for the second facility as part of a second facility model via the user interface, wherein the aggregation for the second facility is identified by the tag.

2. A system as in claim 1, wherein the set of variables for the first facility is associated with a set of facility equipment.

3. A system as in claim 1, wherein the set of variables for the second facility is associated with a set of facility equipment.

4. A system as in claim 1, wherein the first facility model comprises a plurality of tags.

5. A system as in claim 1, wherein the second facility model comprises a plurality of tags.

6. A system as in claim 1, wherein the tag identifies an associated facility.

7. A system as in claim 1, further comprising storing a subscription for an aggregation of the set of variables for the first facility in a facility model library in response to the first selections via the user interface.

8. A system as in claim 1, further comprising storing a subscription for the aggregation of the set of variables for the second facility in a facility model library in response to the second selections via the user interface.

9. A computer-implemented method for dynamic tagging to create logical models and optimize caching in energy management systems, the method including the steps of:

identifying, by a computer program stored in a memory and executed by a computer, subscriptions in a facility model library, wherein the subscriptions comprise a subscription for an aggregation of a set of variables for a first facility and a subscription for an aggregation of a set of variables for a second facility, wherein the number of the set of variables for the first facility differs from the number of the set of variables for the second facility;

aggregating, by the computer program, the set of variables for the first facility;

aggregating, by the computer program, the set of variables for the second facility;

outputting, by the computer program, the aggregation for the first facility as part of a first facility model via the user interface, wherein the aggregation for the first facility is identified by a tag; and

outputting, by the computer program, the aggregation for the second facility as part of a second facility model via the user interface, wherein the aggregation for the second facility is identified by the tag.

10. A computer-implemented method as in claim 9, wherein the set of variables for the first facility is associated with a set of facility equipment.

11. A computer-implemented method as in claim 9, wherein the set of variables for the second facility is associated with a set of facility equipment.

12. A computer-implemented method as in claim 9, wherein the first facility model comprises a plurality of tags.

13. A computer-implemented method as in claim 9, wherein the second facility model comprises a plurality of tags.

14. A computer-implemented method as in claim 9, wherein the tag identifies an associated facility

15. A computer program product for dynamic tagging to create logical models and caching in energy management systems, the computer program product including:

a computer readable storage medium storing computer executable program code that, when executed by a processor, causes the computer executable program code to perform a method including the steps of;

aggregating a first set of variables in response to first selections via a user interface;

aggregating a second set of variables in response to second selections via the user interface, wherein the first set of variables shares at least one variable with the second set of variables;

output the aggregation of the first set of variables as part of a first facility model via the user interface, wherein the aggregation for the first facility is identified by a first tag; and

output the aggregation for the second set of variables as part of a second facility model via the user interface, wherein the aggregation for the second facility is identified by a second tag.

16. A computer program product as in claim 15, wherein the first set of variables is associated with a set of facility equipment.

17. A computer program product as in claim 15, wherein the second set of variables is associated with a set of facility equipment.

18. A computer program product as in claim 15, wherein the first facility model comprises a plurality of tags.

19. A computer program product as in claim 15, wherein the second facility model comprises a plurality of tags.

20. A computer program product as in claim 15, further comprising storing a subscription for the aggregation of the first set of variables and a subscription for the aggregation of the second set of variables in a facility model library in response to the first selections and the second selections, respectively, via the user interface.
