A first display screen is displayed on a display when display of the first display screen is selected, the first display screen displaying a control icon that allows operation or confirmation of the state of each of one or more target devices. A second display screen representing a floor plan of a building is displayed on the display when display of the second display screen is selected. A device icon representing each of the one or more target devices is displayed as overlapped on the second display screen representing the floor plan. The device icon representing each of the one or more target devices is displayed at a position corresponding to information representing the arrangement position of each of the one or more target devices included in the floor plan.

A building management system (BMS) includes one or more sensors that measure a variable state or condition in the BMS and a plurality of BMS devices that operate to affect the variable state or condition measured by the one or more sensors. Each of the BMS devices stores a thermodynamic block that models the BMS device. Each of the thermodynamic blocks includes a list of connections and a list of stats. The connections define one or more inputs to the thermodynamic block and one or more outputs from the thermodynamic block. The stats define one or more relationships between the inputs and the outputs. Each of the BMS devices includes a solver configured to perform calculations using the stats and connections defined by the thermodynamic block stored within the BMS device.

The present invention relates to coal-fired power plants and flue gas emissions and more specifically, to controlling gaseous mercury emissions in the flue gas between two or more coal fired electric generating units within a contiguous power plant site to achieve environmental regulation limits for mercury emissions. This is accomplished by continuously adjusting the application rates of mercury oxidant, which is added to a coal feed to oxidize elemental mercury for improved mercury capturability and aqueous mercury precipitant (liquid), which is added to a scrubber liquor of a wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) unit to precipitate out oxidized mercury into solid form for improved capture and disposal.

A method for providing an estimate for a defined building control system comprises displaying on a user interface a plurality of areas in which the defined building control system would be installed. Pluralities of subsystems are associated with the plurality of areas and include at least one typical subsystem that is associated with a defined plurality of building automation components in a database. The method further comprises displaying on the user interface the typical subsystem in association with the plurality of areas. A number of instances of the typical subsystem that are associated with the plurality of areas are also displayed on the user interface. A cost estimate is generated for the defined building control system based at least in part on the number of instances of the typical subsystem.
