A computer-implemented method for anomaly detection in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory comprising instructions which are executed by the processor, the method including: receiving, by the processor, a real-time airflow pattern detected from an airflow alerter, wherein the real-time airflow pattern is generated by a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in a particular facility; comparing, by the processor, the real-time airflow pattern to a predetermined airflow pattern for the HVAC system; and when the real-time airflow pattern is different from the predetermined airflow pattern, receiving, by the processor, an alert message indicating an anomaly from the airflow alerter.

Systems and methods are disclosed that operate a door latch of a door of a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system electronically based on operating a locking engagement device. The locking engagement device may be disposed on an outer portion of a door, the latch may be part of a latching system disposed on an inner portion of the door, and the locking engagement device may transmit a signal indicating that the locking engagement device is in an open or closed position to the latching system via a conductor electronically coupling the locking engagement device and the latching system. In some embodiments, the locking engagement device may transmit a signal indicating that the locking engagement device is in an open or closed position to a controller, which may then instruct the latching system to open or close the latch based on receiving the signal.

A building automation system (BAS) platform includes one or more processors configured to provide an operating environment for developing and executing a plurality of building automation and control microservices. At least one of the plurality of building automation and control microservices is configured to receive live data from remote building equipment and provide control signals to the remote building equipment. The BAS platform further includes one or more application programming interfaces configured to interact with third-party building automation and control applications that run within the operating environment.

Provided is an indoor ventilation system which can ventilate an indoor space even without opening a glazed window. A ventilation window includes an opening which is formed through a glass plate thereof and can be opened or blocked. In the system, only a space corresponding to the opening is open to the outside so as to ventilate an indoor space without a glazed window, an open area of the opening is narrow so as to be secure against outside invasion and a falling accident, and a perimeter of a frame is short so as to minimize energy loss.

Described is a louver having a frame that forms an enclosure defining an opening, and a plurality of louver blades disposed within the opening. The louver further includes an elongated member disposed within the frame and in contact with the plurality of louver blades. The elongated member has a body that longitudinally extends between a first member end and a second member end, wherein the first member end and the second member end are fixedly connected to opposing sections of the frame. The described louver may provide improved wind-driven rain resistance and/or impact resistance.

A ligature-resistant thermostat cover provides restriction of access to a thermostat and prevention of ligature formation around or atop the thermostat. The thermostat cover includes a wall plate for securing to a wall with a central aperture for accommodating a thermostat, a cover portion and a locking mechanism. The cover portion is curved both toward the top and toward the bottom of the cover from an apex line to provide a continuously curving front surface of the cover portion. The rear profile of the cover portion matches a mating surface of a front profile of the wall plate in width and height and the wall plate has an incline or curvature at the top face to provide a continuously sloping surface that prevents formation of a ligature point above the top face.
