1. A building management system (BMS), the system comprising:

  • a controller comprising an adaptive interaction manager and an agent manager, the agent manager comprising an agent scheduler and an agent generator, wherein the agent generator is configured to generate new software agents;

    one or more input-output (I/O) devices, the I/O devices in communication with the adaptive interaction manager; and

    a plurality of BMS field devices, the BMS field devices in communication with the controller;

    wherein the I/O devices are configured to receive an input from a user, the I/O devices configured to communicate the input to the adaptive interaction manager, the adaptive interaction manager is configured to process the received input to determine a required action, and to communicate the required action to the agent manager, the agent scheduler is configured to determine if one or more existing software agents are capable of performing the required action and to automatically transmit the existing software agents to one or more of the BMS field devices based on the agent scheduler determining the existing software agents are capable of performing the desired action;

    wherein the existing software agents capable of performing the required actions are configured to automatically be installed in a processing circuit of the BMS field device to perform the required action, wherein the required action is performed by the software agents capable of performing the required action executing an energy optimization function to optimize an energy usage of the one or more of the BMS field devices, the software agents capable of performing the required action are further configured to monitor data from the one or more BMS field devices to determine an effect of the energy optimization function on the BMS, and to automatically adjust the energy optimization function for the one or more BMS field devices based on the determined effect.
