Abstract

Systems and methods for automated fault detection in a building management system are shown and described. The systems and methods further involve organizing the data set into bins, each bin containing a plurality of the observed points for the variable of the building management system. The systems and methods further involve calculating, for each bin, a target parameter and an estimator of scale for the observed points. The systems and methods further involve detecting, for each bin, an outlier of the building management system by comparing a data point of the bin to the calculated target parameter and estimator of scale for the bin.
