Abstract

A system for operating or designing building equipment is configured to provide a user interface comprising a workspace with selectable symbols representing multiple devices of building equipment, evaluate a user input defining a connection between at least two of the selectable symbols on the workspace according to a set of rules to determine whether the connection is valid or invalid, prevent the user from making the connection in response to determining that the connection is invalid, generate a valid model of a system comprising the multiple devices of building equipment in response to determining that the connection is valid, execute a model-based control process or simulation using the valid model to generate control decisions or design decisions for the multiple devices of building equipment, and operate or design the multiple devices of building equipment in accordance with the control decisions or the design decisions.
