Abstract:
A model predictive maintenance (MPM) system for building equipment includes an operational cost predictor configured to predict a cost of operating the building equipment over a duration of an optimization period, a maintenance cost predictor configured to predict a cost of performing maintenance on the building equipment over the duration of the optimization period, and an objective function optimizer configured to optimize an objective function to predict a total cost associated with the building equipment over the duration of the optimization period. The objective function includes the predicted cost of operating the building equipment and the predicted cost of performing maintenance on the building equipment. The MPM system includes an equipment controller configured to operate the building equipment to affect a variable state or condition in a building in accordance with values of one or more decision variables obtained by optimizing the objective function.

Claim (Index 8):
A model predictive maintenance system for building equipment, the model predictive maintenance system comprising:\n a maintenance cost predictor configured to predict a cost of performing maintenance on the building equipment over a duration of a period as a function of a plurality of binary decision variables that indicate whether maintenance will be performed on the building equipment during each time of the period; an objective function provider configured to provide a function to predict a total cost associated with the building equipment over the duration of the period, the function comprising the predicted cost of performing maintenance on the building equipment; and an equipment controller configured to operate the building equipment to affect a variable state or condition in a building in accordance with values of one or more decision variables obtained from the function.
