Abstract
An arrangement for coordinating data representative of a building system includes a process connected to a memory. The memory stores a plurality of building space objects and at least one building automation device object. At least one building space object includes a reference to at least one of the group consisting of a parent building space object and a child building space object, a reference to at least one graphic file containing a graphic image representation of the building space, and a reference to information regarding one or more building automation devices associated with the building space object. At least one building automation device object includes a reference to a corresponding building space object, a reference to at least one operating value of the building automation device, and a reference to a link to a file containing information regarding the at least one building automation device object.

11. A method of generating a model of a building system comprising:
-
a) selecting an object template for an element of a building system from an object template library, the object template library including building space object templates and building automation device objects; b) instantiating first information into at least one building space object using the selected object template if the selected object template is a building space object template, the first information associated with a space within a building with which the building system is associated; c) instantiating second information into at least one building automation device object using the selected object template if the selected object template is a building automation device template, the second information associated with a building automation device within the building, the second information including at least a reference to a building space object corresponding to a building space associated with the building automation device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
