Abstract

A method of displaying building system controller data includes receiving a user login associated with predefined user access privileges and receiving a building system controller selection, requesting a listing of building system controller applications and activities from a building system controller associated with the building system controller selection, and generating a display of available building system controller applications and allowable activities based on the user access privileges and based on the listing.

Claims

1. A method of displaying building system controller data comprising:

receiving with a computer a first set of building system controller data points associated with a first building system controller located in a first time zone, said first set of building system controller data points having first time data according to said first time zone;

receiving with said computer a second set of building system controller data points associated with a second building system controller located in a second time zone, said second set of building system controller data points having second time data according to said second time zone; and

displaying with said computer said first and second building system controller data points, including said first and second time data, according to a selected time zone by converting one of said first time data and said second time data to said selected time zone.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said displaying comprises generating a graphical display of said first and second building system controller data points.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein said selected time zone corresponds to a time zone location of a user viewing said graph.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said selected time zone corresponds to one of said first time zone and said second time zone.
