1. A controller for communicating with a building automation system, the controller comprising:

  • a communications interface operable to exchange information contemporaneously in time between the controller and the building automation system, the exchanged information carrying data corresponding to operating parameters of HVAC equipment arranged in an HVAC system;

    a detection module having executable instructions for detecting relationships in patterns defined by one or more of an input, an output, a control parameter and an information point of the HVAC system;

    an optimization module having executable instructions for determining an operating efficiency of the HVAC system based on the present operating state of the HVAC equipment; and

    a correction module configured to identify an error in the patterns, the correction module further configured to evaluate the error, adjust the error, and propagate the error back toward the optimization module to substantially align the present operating state efficiency of the HVAC system with a predicted operating efficiency of the HVAC system.
