Facility analytics

The present disclosure advantageously provides devices, systems, and methods for facility analytics. A computer-based method for determining electrical energy consumption for a building includes receiving static data for a plurality of electrical energy-consuming equipment (EECE) associated with the building, receiving dynamic data for each EECE, determining an electrical energy consumption value for each EECE over a predetermined time period, and determining a building electrical energy consumption value over the predetermined time period. The static data includes one or more performance attributes for each EECE, and the dynamic data includes measured performance data for each EECE over the predetermined time period. The electrical energy consumption value for each EECE is determined based on the performance attributes for each EECE and the measured performance data for each EECE. The building electrical energy consumption value is determined based on the electrical energy consumption value for each EECE.

TECHNIQUES FOR PRESERVING BATTERY LIFE IN POOR SIGNAL CONDITIONS USING CELLULAR PROTOCOL INFORMATION
20220201615 · 2022-06-23 ·

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for operating an electronic device within a cellular environment. The technique includes determining a coverage enhancement (CE) parameter and one or more radio frequency (RF) link parameters associated with a link between the electronic device and a cellular base station at a first point in time. The technique also includes computing a first estimate for a signal condition associated with the link based on the CE parameter and the one or more RF link parameters. The technique further includes determining that the signal condition is not adequate based on the first estimate and delaying transmission of one or more messages from the electronic device over the link until a second point in time that is later than the first point in time.

RECEIVER-CENTRIC COMMUNICATION BY COMBINED NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENHANCED RELIABILITY
20220174460 · 2022-06-02 ·

The present invention relates to a receiver-centric transmission system for IoT systems, such as lighting networks, with combo protocol radio chips that share a single radio front-end for two or more transmission protocols of different network technologies while preventing unacceptable performance degradations in one or both protocol modes. The receiver-centric approach allows implementation of two networks with acceptable performances on one single radio chip per node rather than requiring two radio chips per node.
