Present the exemplary method for revising ambient As.In this example, user can be arranged in the machine readable code of the reader reading of environmental Kuznets Curves access panels to revise the ambient As of building automation system via generating.

With reference to Fig. 1, the exemplary topology figure for building automation system method is shown.Buildings wide area network 55 comprises multiple system and the parts of wired or wireless communication.Buildings wide area network 55 generally comprises multiple building automation system 100 and can access via " buildings collaborative interface system " or " BSIS ".BSIS200 can change by generating the one or more mobile computing devices 300 shown by the figure that BSIS200 is readable, and BSIS200 can be the part of environmental Kuznets Curves access panels 250.BSIS200 can also comprise the access to the data storage device comprising building information database 210 and customer data base 220.Software for transmitting environment and from other data to BSIS200 can be stored in both mobile computing device 300 and/or building automation system 100.As herein by explanation, BSIS200 makes it possible to regulate the one or more of the ambient As in building automation system when not having mobile computing device 300 to be connected with the network between BSIS200 based on human action.

With in nextpage, first explain the general layout of the exemplary building automation system 100 be configured to for BSIS200.Afterwards, the general layout of interpreted environment access control panel 250, is followed by thereafter the general layout of mobile computing device 300.The overall operation of BSIS200 is discussed after the description of building automation system (BAS), environment access control panel 250 and mobile computing device 300.

building automation system

In the example embodiment of Fig. 1, building automation system 100 comprises building information database 210, customer data base 220, closed-circuit television system 130, security system 140, fire alarming system 150 and environmental control system 160.Depict the system chart of the exemplary building automation system (BAS) 100 in buildings 99 in fig. 2.Building automation system 100 is depicted as distributed building system, and it provides controlling functions for any one (such as environmental Kuznets Curves, security, life or condition of a fire safety, the Industry Control etc.) in multiple buildings operation.The example of BAS is the available Apogee building automation system of buildings technology branch of Industrial Co., Ltd of Siemens from Illinois Buffalo Ge Luofu.Apogee building automation system allows the setting of various controls and/or the change of system, generally as following providing.Although provide the concise and to the point description to exemplary BAS in the following paragraphs, should understand, building automation system 100 described herein is only used for exemplary form or the configuration of building automation system.

Special in Fig. 2, building automation system 100 comprises at least one supervisory control system or workstation 102, client station 103a-103c, report server 104, the multiple field panel represented by field panel 106a and 106b and the multiple controllers represented by controller 108a-108e.But will understand, multiple BAS framework can be adopted.

Each in controller 108a-108e represents one in the Modular building thing control subsystem of multiple localization, such as space temperature control subsystem, Illumination Control Subsystem etc.Suitable controller for building controls subsystem comprises such as from Industrial Co., Ltd of the Siemens buildings technology branch available model TEC(terminal device controller of Illinois Buffalo Ge Luofu).In order to perform the control to the subsystem that it is associated, each controller 108a-108e is connected to one or more field apparatus, such as sensor or actuator, it is shown as sensor 109a by way of example in fig. 2 and is connected to controller 108a and actuator 109b is connected to controller 108b.

Typically, the controller of such as controller 108a and so on affects the control of subsystem based on sensed condition and desired setpoint conditions.Controller controls the operation of one or more field apparatus to attempt to take sensed condition to desired setpoint conditions.For example, consider the temperature control subsystem controlled by controller 108a, wherein actuator 109b is connected to artificial atmosphere valve and sensor 109a is room temperature sensor.If as unequal in the temperature set-point of the sensing temperature provided by sensor 109a and expectation, then controller 108a can open or close artificial atmosphere valve to attempt temperature to be taken to closer to expectation set point further via actuator 109b.It is to be noted, in BAS100, sensor, actuator and set point information can be shared on controller 108a-108e, field panel 106a and 106b, workstation 102 and BAS100 or between other element any being connected to BAS100.

In order to promote sharing of such information, be such as connected to controller 108a and 108b those and so on groups of subsystems be typically organized into floor (floor) level network or field level networks (" FLN "), and be generally docked to field panel 106a.FLN data network 110a is the low level data network that suitably can adopt any suitable proprietary or open protocol.Subsystem 108c, 108d are connected via another rudimentary FLN data network 110b together with field panel 106b similarly with 108e.Similarly, should understand, multiple FLN framework can be adopted.
