Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
retrieve a system model for use in controlling a plurality of devices in a building, the system model is configured to be developed and implemented in stages during different phases including two or more of installation, engineering, commissioning, operation, and maintenance, wherein different tools are used by technicians to develop and implement the system model during each of two or more of the different phases, where the system model is configured to be directly accessed and updated by the different tools used by technicians when developing and implementing the system model during each of the two or more different phases including two or more of installation, engineering, commissioning, operation, and maintenance;
allow a user to use one or more predefined templates to create the plurality of devices in the system model, wherein the predefined templates include user selectable elements and define one or more of data points, control parameters, schedule configuration, and alarm configuration for the corresponding devices, the predefined templates enforcing standardized device names and standardized point names that are hardware agnostic for use by the different tools when developing and implementing the system model;
allow the user to link the system model to a gateway at the building; and
once setup, the system model is configured to receive hardware agnostic point information from the gateway and provide hardware agnostic control commands to the gateway for controlling the plurality of devices.
