This invention describes a computer system for managing data within a building. It collects information from various building components, like sensors or controls, and organizes it into a specialized database. In this database, each building component and every piece of data is represented as a "smart entity," and these entities are linked together to show how they relate to each other, allowing the system to store, understand, and control building settings.
Why it matters: Graph database technologies have become more accessible and performant since 2020, simplifying the implementation of the interconnected smart entities. The increased demand for comprehensive digital twins in building management also highlights the value of this structured data approach.
