1. A building management system comprising:

  • building equipment located within a building space;

    a controller that receives input from the building equipment and provides a control signal to the building equipment;

    a floorplan geolocator that receives a map providing geolocation data and overlays a building floorplan onto the map;

    a space geolocator that receives a first input defining a location of the building space relative to the floorplan and determines a geolocation of the building space using the geolocation data;

    an equipment geolocator that receives a second input defining a location of the building equipment relative to the floorplan and determines a geolocation of the building equipment using the geolocation data; and

    a parent space detector that uses geometric heuristics and the geolocations of the building space and the building equipment to identify a spatial relationship between the building space and the building equipment;

    wherein the controller uses the spatial relationship between the building space and the building equipment to generate the control signal provided to the building equipment.
