Systems and methods for detecting and using equipment location in a building management system

摘要

Systems and methods for detecting and using equipment location in a building management system are provided. Location information is measured by one or more measurement devices at a physical location of building equipment. The measured location information is used to automatically determine the physical location of the building equipment in or around a building. The location of the building equipment is integrated with an architectural model of a building served by the building equipment and a graphical visualization of the integrated model is generated. The location of the building equipment can be used to automatically associate the building equipment with other building equipment or with a building zone, to automatically generate control parameters and control algorithms, and/or to generate an augmented reality display of the building equipment in the building.

1. A method for detecting and using equipment location in a building management system for a building, the method comprising:
receiving measured location information at a processing circuit, wherein the measured location information is obtained by one or more measurement devices at one or more physical locations of building equipment in a building management system, the building equipment comprising a first BMS device and one or more other BMS devices; automatically determining, by the processing circuit, the physical locations of the building equipment in the building management system using the measured location information; ranking each of the other BMS devices based on a physical distance between the first BMS device and the other BMS devices, wherein each physical distance is a function of the physical location of the first BMS device and one of the physical locations of the other BMS devices; generating an association between the first BMS device and one of the other BMS devices based on a result of the ranking; and controlling a building zone by operating the one of the other BMS devices to affect an environmental condition of the building zone.
