Abstract:
A program for light commercial building system (LCBS) solutions. Solutions and other systems may incorporate lightweight alerting service, auto-adjustment of gateway poll rates based on the needs of various consuming applications, detecting loss of space comfort control in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, HVAC capacity loss alerting using relative degree days and accumulated stage run time with operational equivalency checks, and HVAC alerting for loss of heat or cool capacity using delta temperature and dependent system properties. Also, incorporated may be triggering s subset of analytics by automatically inferring HVAC equipment details from controller configuration details, ensuring reliability of analytics by retaining logical continuity of HVAC equipment operational data even when controllers and other parts of the system are replaced, and an LCBS gateway with workflow and mechanisms to associate to a contractor account.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of alerting a user of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising:\n reporting an event record of equipment of an HVAC system as an alert, wherein equipment of the HVAC system comprises at least one or more objects having associated therewith a parameter value having a predetermined allowed bound and the alert corresponds to a parameter value of the at least one or more objects sensed by a sensor which is outside of the predetermined allowed bound; logging a time of the alert when the alert occurs; classifying the alert as having a level of priority selected from a group of priorities, wherein each priority indicates a level of urgency for an action relative to the at least one or more objects that should be taken; and configuring the alert to appear on a display or dashboard, wherein the alert is a pushed notification and a content of the push notification comprises content about the alert, a person to receive information pertaining to the alert, and a medium for containing the alert; and wherein: an event record of an alert is selected from a group consisting of a sensed value of an object of the at least one or more objects, an excursion outside a predetermined allowed bound of a parameter value, and an analytic value exceeding a predetermined allowed bound; wherein the alert pertains to a status of HVAC equipment in a building management system, as determined by a parameter value of the object of the at least one or more objects to which an alert threshold has been applied according to the predetermined allowed bound; and wherein when the parameter value of the object of the at least one or more objects reenters the predetermined allowed bound, the alert remains, and when the parameter value of the object of the at least one or more objects again lies outside of the predetermined allowed bound, the alert remains and a latest time that the parameter value of the object of the at least one or more objects has been outside of the predetermined allowed bound is logged.
