BUILDING SYSTEM WITH A BUILDING GRAPH
A building energy management includes building equipment, one or more data platform services, a timeseries database, and an energy management application. The building equipment operate to monitor and control a variable and provide raw data samples of a data point associated with the variable. The timeseries database stores a plurality of timeseries associated with the data point. The plurality of timeseries include a timeseries of the raw data samples and the one or more optimized data timeseries generated by the data platform services based on the raw data timeseries. The energy management application generates an ad hoc dashboard including a widget and associates the widget with the data point. The widget displays a graphical visualization of the plurality of timeseries associated with the data point and includes interactive user interface options for switching between the plurality of timeseries associated with the data point.
Smartphone-Controlled Active Configuration of Footwear, Including With Concavely Rounded Soles
A smartphone or other mobile computer device, general purpose or specialized, wherein the smartphone device is configured to actively control the configuration of one or more bladders, compartments, chambers or internal sipes and one or more sensors located in either one or both of a sole or a removable inner sole insert of the footwear of the user and/or located in an apparatus worn or carried by the user, glued unto the user, or implanted in the user. The one or more bladders, compartments, chambers, or sipes, and one or more sensors are configured for computer control. A sole and/or a removable inner sole insert for footwear, including one or more bladders, compartments, chambers, internal sipes and sensors in the sole and/or in a removable insert; or on an insole; all being configured for control by a smartphone or other mobile computer device, general purpose or specialized.

ENERGY COST PREDICTION SYSTEM
An integrated system and method measures building characteristics and user behavior to provide real-time and forecasted utility usages and costs. The system gathers current and historical heating and cooling load data, compares the data with current and historical weather data and a building system set point, and calculates the heating or cooling load needed for the building based on the user's call for heat or cooling and the ambient environmental conditions. The system additionally analyzes individual device usage using usage signatures and user inputted tracking to create a comprehensive real-time and forecast of utility usages with the estimated costs. Through history of selections with usage changes corresponding to user input of individual devices, the system will be able to learn various devices' usage. The system then creates a comprehensive, real-time forecast of utility costs including the foregoing characteristics.
