Patent ID: 8565902

Claim:
A processor-implemented method for controlling a building management system, wherein the building management system includes a plurality of building systems, wherein each building system functions on the basis of a respective set of currently applied configuration data, the method comprising: maintaining data indicative of a plurality of threat level identifiers; enabling a user to associate sets of building system configuration data with the threat level identifiers, wherein each set of building system configuration data relates to a respective building system, such that for a given one of the building systems, there are a plurality of sets of configuration data each associated with a respective one of the threat level identifiers, including a currently applied set of configuration data and at least one non-applied set of configuration data; receiving an instruction to implement a threat level defined by a specified one of the threat level identifiers; identifying the sets of configuration data associated with the specified one of the threat level identifiers; and for each of the sets of configuration data associated with the specified one of the threat level identifiers: (i) determining the building system to which the set of configuration data relates; and (ii) instructing the building system to which the set of configuration data relates to apply the set of configuration data as its currently applied configuration data.
