Solution Overview
Problem
Existing building systems lack an efficient method to integrate external scoring models and user feedback to improve building health scores, leading to suboptimal environmental control, energy usage, and occupant well-being.
Innovation Solution
A building system that integrates an external scoring model and user feedback, allowing for data validity analysis, occupant feedback validation, and implementation of updates to improve building scores, including updates to environmental settings, maintenance schedules, and system additions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If building systems operate independently without integration of external scoring models and user feedback, then system operation is simple, but building health scores remain suboptimal and environmental control is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where user feedback is collected through the user interface and used to validate and adjust building health scores. The external scoring model receives building data and generates scores, which are then validated against user feedback to improve accuracy. This closed-loop feedback system resolves the contradiction by integrating multiple data sources while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The building system acts as an intermediary that integrates external scoring models, building data sources, and user feedback into a unified health scoring system. The system mediates between these different components, processing building data through external models and validating results against user feedback, thereby improving reliability without requiring direct complex integration between all components.
2Measurement precision
If building systems implement comprehensive monitoring and multiple scoring models, then building health scores improve, but data processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing building data and validating it before submitting to external scoring models. The user interface collects and pre-validates user feedback in advance. This preliminary preparation reduces the computational burden during score generation, improving precision while minimizing additional processing time.
3Reliability
If the system implements real-time validation of user feedback and data, then score accuracy improves, but system response time decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial validation by selectively validating user feedback and building data based on confidence thresholds and data quality indicators. Not all data requires full validation processing - the system applies validation selectively to maintain accuracy while preserving response speed for time-critical operations.
Data Source
AI summary
A building system operates to receive a first building health indicator indicating a health level of the building and a second building health indicator indicating the health level of the building, the first building health indicator generated based on a first methodology defined by a first entity and the second building health indicator generated based on a second methodology defined by a second entity different from the first entity, the first building health indicator and the second building health indicator generated based on building data. The building system operates to generate user interface data configured to cause a user device to display a user interface indicating the first building health indicator and the second building health indicator together on a display of the user device.
