Abstract

A system for allocating resources across equipment that operate to serve one or more loads of a building. The system includes one or more memory devices storing instructions that cause one or more processors to receive operational data defining at least one of planned loads to be served by the equipment or utility rates for one or more time steps within a simulation period, determine whether the operational data define the planned loads or the utility rates for each time step within the simulation period, and in response to a determination that the operational data do not define the planned loads or the utility rates for each time step within the simulation period, identify one or more time steps for which the planned loads or the utility rates are not defined and initiate an action to define the planned loads or the utility rates for the identified time steps.
