Abstract

The system helps facility managers and other users to efficiently navigate through a building or complex of buildings, and quickly gather information for (and control) individual building systems or groups of systems. A method includes displaying an image representing at least a portion of a building, wherein at least part of the image is a three-dimensional representation; and displaying a representation of a device associated with the building, wherein the representation of the device is selectable through the user interface.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This Application is a continuation of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 108,757, filed May 16, 2011, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.DESCRIPTION[0002]1. Field[0003]The disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for building control.[0004]2. Background[0005]Many buildings include complex systems to provide heating, cooling, lighting, security and other services. These systems may require a significant amount of energy, which can present a significant challenge to facility managers facing rising (and volatile) energy prices, as well as requirements to be more environmentally sensitive. These challenges can be particularly acute for large commercial buildings where manual control over many disparate systems is often time-consuming, burdensome, and expensive.[0006]These and other issues are addressed by embodiments of the present disclosure. Among other things, embodiments of the dis...
