Claim One:
1. A method of providing personalized building related recommendation output elements, the method comprising: receiving a first set of data elements representing features of a building; receiving a second set of data elements representing user characteristics; creating, using the first set of data elements, a building profile comprising: a set of physical properties of the building; and a building model that, when operated under various condition parameters, represents how buildings with the set of physical properties will act at different times; creating, using the second set of data elements, a behavioral model that comprises building user details and action predictors, the action predictors comprising determined user characteristics, history of user actions, or probabilities of user actions; selecting, based on the building profile and the behavioral model, one or more recommendation filters wherein each recommendation filter is operable to select, modify, or remove one or more elements from a set of possible recommendations; choosing, by operating the selected recommendation filters, a set of filtered recommendations; creating building scenarios by— calculating, for one or more filtered recommendation subsets of the set of filtered recommendations, condition parameters corresponding to the filtered recommendation subset; and operating the building model under the calculated condition parameters corresponding to the recommendation subsets; wherein each building scenario corresponds to a filtered recommendation subset; selecting probable recommendations based on determinations from the behavioral model, operating on the set of filtered recommendations, the determinations indicating that one or more filtered recommendations will be helpful, followed, or found valuable to the user; selecting one or more elements from the probable recommendations, building scenarios, and set of filtered recommendations; and creating and transmitting, from the selected elements, the personalized building related recommendation output elements.
