Solution Overview

Problem

The initial commissioning of new buildings and spaces within building management systems is time-intensive and costly due to the difficulty in manually identifying and configuring assets, generating digital representations, and integrating devices with the system.

Innovation Solution

A building management platform that automatically tags data points using context data, executes machine learning models for tag validation, and incorporates user feedback to enhance tag accuracy, while dynamically controlling environmental variables and monitoring sensor measurements to validate and update digital representations.

1Measurement precision

If manual identification and configuration of assets is performed, then data accuracy can be ensured through human review, but the commissioning process becomes time-intensive and costly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidcommissioning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically tagging data points using machine learning models that analyze context data from building equipment, sensors, and operational data. The system autonomously generates digital representations and configures assets without requiring manual human intervention for each data point, thereby reducing commissioning time while maintaining accuracy through automated validation mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of identifying and configuring assets with an automated computational system. Machine learning models substitute human analysts by processing context data, generating tags, and validating data points algorithmically,ไปŽ่€Œ eliminating the time-consuming manual review process while preserving data accuracy through automated confidence scoring and validation protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If automated tagging using machine learning models is implemented, then commissioning time is reduced, but initial system complexity and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommissioning speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-training machine learning models using historical building data before deployment. Context data from building information models, equipment specifications, and operational histories are processed in advance to establish baseline tagging frameworks. This preliminary preparation reduces the computational complexity during actual commissioning, as the models are already trained and ready to rapidly tag new data points without requiring complex real-time processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If comprehensive validation of data points is performed, then data reliability is improved, but the processing time and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata reliabilityVSAvoidvalidation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial validation by focusing computational resources on validating only the most critical data points and those with lower confidence scores. Instead of uniformly validating every single data point, the system prioritizes validation efforts on tags that significantly impact building operations or have higher uncertainty, thereby achieving sufficient data reliability without the excessive time and computational load of comprehensive validation of all data points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
