SMART BUILDING MANAGER

摘要

A building manager includes a communications interface configured to receive information from a smart energy grid. The building manager further includes an integrated control layer configured to receive inputs from and to provide outputs to a plurality of building subsystems. The integrated control layer includes a plurality of control algorithm modules configured to process the inputs and to determine the outputs. The building manager further includes a fault detection and diagnostics layer configured to use statistical analysis on the inputs received from the integrated control layer to detect and diagnose faults. The building manager yet further includes a demand response layer configured to process the information received from the smart energy grid to determine adjustments to the plurality of control algorithms of the integrated control layer.

1. A building manager comprising:
a communications interface configured to receive time-of-use pricing information from a smart energy grid; and a processing circuit comprising a processor and non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions executable by the processor stored thereon, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising: an integrated control layer configured to receive inputs from a plurality of building subsystems and to provide outputs to the plurality of building subsystems, the integrated control layer including a plurality of control algorithm modules configured to process the inputs and to determine the outputs; and a demand response layer configured to process the time-of-use pricing information received from the smart energy grid to determine adjusted setpoints for the plurality of control algorithm modules of the integrated control layer, the adjusted setpoints comprising setpoint energy transfer rates into one or more energy storage devices and out of the one or more energy storage devices; wherein the integrated control layer is configured to use the setpoint energy transfer rates to generate control signals for the plurality of building subsystems and provide the control signals as the outputs to the plurality of building subsystems.
