Claim 7:
8. A method for performing model predictive maintenance for building equipment, the method comprising:
operating the building equipment to affect a variable state or condition in a building;
predicting a cost of operating the building equipment over a duration of an optimization period;
generating one or more budget constraints defining a maintenance budget;
optimizing an objective function to determine a maintenance schedule for the building equipment and operating decisions for the building equipment, the objective function comprising maintenance costs of the building equipment, the predicted cost of operating the building equipment, and a penalty cost term based on the maintenance costs of the building equipment relative to the maintenance budget; and
controlling the building equipment by generating electronic control signals based on the operating decisions for the building equipment and causing the building equipment to affect a variable state or condition in the building using the electronic control signals.
