Abstract

A method and system is disclosed for scaling performance indicators of control applications in an environmental control system. The method and system include receiving more than one performance indicator from a first control application, wherein the first control application includes a modulating control output and receiving more than one performance indicator from a second control application, wherein the second control application includes a staged-control output. The method and system further include identifying a probability distribution, wherein the probability distribution is characteristic of a fault-free environmental control system and calculating probability distributions associated with the performance indicators of the first and second control applications. The method and system also include displaying the probability distributions of the first and second control applications on a common scale.
