Systems and methods for displaying a unified representation of performance related data

摘要

A system and method for displaying a unified representation of performance related data for a building are disclosed. The system includes a sensor network for collecting data in the building and a computing device for generating and displaying a unified representation of performance related data on a display. The performance related data may include the raw data collected by the sensor network or data generated by simulation programs based on the raw data collected by the sensor network. The computing device displays the performance related data in the context of a graphical representation of a three-dimensional model of the building as defined in a building information model (BIM). The computing device generates the graphical representation using an ambient occlusion rendering technique and then incorporates the performance related data either using a direct rendering technique or a transient geometry technique.

1. A method for displaying a unified representation of performance related data for a building, the method comprising:
receiving a building information model (BIM) that includes three-dimensional (3D) geometry data and metadata related to the building; receiving sensor data that includes one or more values associated with the performance related data; rendering a digital image that includes a representation of the 3D geometry data and a representation of the sensor data by integrating a result data set of a computational simulation into the 3D geometry data, the simulation made using the received sensor data, wherein rendering the digital image further comprises outlining silhouettes of one or more objects included in the BIM, wherein the silhouettes are outlined based on the one or more values of the sensor data; and causing the digital image to be displayed on a display device.
