Abstract
A building management system includes a meter configured to provide data samples of a real point. The real point corresponds to a first physical parameter measured by the meter. The building management system also includes an analytics circuit configured to store a real point object representing the real point and store a meter object representing the meter. The meter object includes a points attribute that lists one or more point objects associated with the meter object including at least the real point object. The analytics circuit is also configured to store a virtual point object representing a virtual point. The virtual point corresponds to a second physical parameter not measured by the meter. The analytics circuit is also configured to update the points attribute in the meter object to list the virtual point object as one of the point objects associated with the meter object.
