Systems and methods for automatically commissioning and operating a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system for a building site are provided. An exemplary method includes constructing a model using physical equipment of the HVAC system and relationships between the physical equipment. The model indicates connections between the physical equipment and one or more resources produced or consumed by the physical equipment. The method includes generating a mapping between points of the physical equipment at the building site and corresponding variables of the model, using the model to generate values of one or more control variables of the model, and operating the physical equipment by providing the values of the control variables to corresponding points of the physical equipment based on the mapping.

A network of motion sensors employs sensitive accelerometers to issue time-domain measurements of building movement from multiple locations within and between buildings and other structures. The time-domain measurements from the various motion sensors are synchronized and converted into frequency-domain measurements of building movement. Individual motion sensors can be equipped with the requisite processor and memory to synchronize and covert the time-domain measurements. The motions sensors can classify detected events into various event types, such as earthquakes, wind events, or bipedal locomotion. The sensors can also communicate with one another or other resources to calculate event probabilities. A motion sensor may, for example, receive an earthquake-verification signal responsive to an earthquake-verification request. The network of motion sensors can calculate local soil stiffness and financial loss estimations responsive to their individual or collective frequency-domain measurements.

Methods and systems for assessing, detecting, and responding to malfunctions involving components of autonomous vehicle and/or smart homes are described herein. Autonomous operation features and related components can be assessed using direct or indirect data regarding operation. Such assessment may be performed to determine the condition of components for salvage following a collision or other loss-event. To this end, the information regarding a plurality of components may be received. A component of the plurality of components may be identified for assessment. Assessment may including causing test signals to be sent to the identified component. In response to the test signal, one or more responses may be received. The received response may be compared to an expected response to determine whether the identified component is salvageable.
