Abstract
A building commissioning system includes a controller and an electronic database for storing a building layout that includes desired locations for devices to be mounted in a building. The system includes a portable wireless unit with a display for use by an installer. The display on the portable wireless unit shows a graphical representation of the building layout for an area selected by an installer to illustrate desired locations for devices, such as lighting fixtures and wall switches, to be installed in the building. Upon installing a device at the desired location, an installer obtains a unique identifier for the installed device that is matched with the corresponding installed location. The unique identifier and the installed location are sent to the controller for storage in the electronic database. The stored device and location information enable a user to control or adjust device operations.
