Building automation systems with regional intelligence

Abstract

A method for troubleshooting a building automation system includes selecting an artificial intelligence tool from a set of available artificial intelligence tools based on the geographic region of the building automation system, ranking troubleshooting options for the building automation system by applying the artificial intelligence tool to data associated with the building automation system, and implementing at least a first troubleshooting option, the first troubleshooting option ranked higher than a remainder of the troubleshooting options by the artificial intelligence tool.

         10 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
 selecting, based on a location, an artificial intelligence tool from a set of available artificial intelligence tools associated with a plurality of geographic regions, the available artificial intelligence tools trained using different training data associated with the different geographic regions;   ranking troubleshooting options by applying the artificial intelligence tool to data associated with the location; and   causing implementation of at least a first troubleshooting option, the first troubleshooting option ranked higher than a remainder of the troubleshooting options by the artificial intelligence tool.   
     
     
         11 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 10 , wherein the location corresponds to a building, and wherein the troubleshooting options comprise maintenance or service tasks for building equipment serving the building. 
     
     
         12 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 10 , wherein the available artificial intelligence tools comprise:
 a first artificial intelligence tool comprising a generative artificial intelligence model and a first augmentation function; and   a second artificial intelligence tool comprising the generative artificial intelligence model and second augmentation function.   
     
     
         13 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 10 , wherein selecting the artificial intelligence tool is further based on a domain of building equipment to be troubleshot 
     
     
         14 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 10 , wherein causing implementation of at the least the first troubleshooting option comprises automatically adjusting operation of building equipment at the location. 
     
     
         15 . A method, comprising:
 communicating building automation information with a plurality of building automation systems located in a plurality of geographic regions;   automatically adjusting the building automation information in accordance with different regional terminology used by the plurality of building automation systems; and   controlling building equipment with at least a first building automation system of the plurality of building automation systems based on:
 inputs provided by a first user in a first geographic region using a first regional terminology associated with the first geographic region; and 
 inputs provides by a second user in a second geographic region using a second regional terminology associated with the second geographic region. 
   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the first building automation system and the first user are located at the first geographic region and the second user is located at the second geographic region. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the first user is associated with the first building automation system and the second user provides support for the plurality of building automation systems. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein automatically adjusting the building automation information in accordance with the different regional terminology comprises applying a machine learning model to the building automation information.
