AI agent for energy engineers
Energy Management System Setpoint Drift Agent
Overrides are explained or restored, and each building runs on the approved standard
What it does
Operators override schedules and setpoints for a one-off reason, then nobody puts them back. This agent compares the current schedules and setpoints in every building to the approved standard and lists overrides. It estimates what each one costs per week using weather and equipment size, and it requests an explanation from the building owner or operator. After a response, it records the reason and a restore date. It rechecks the system after changes to confirm settings returned. The engineer approves any restoration. Edge case: an override is for a weekend event and has an end date, so the agent logs it and checks again after the date instead of asking for a change.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Daily building scan
- Read current schedules and setpoints from each building
- Read the approved standard and override log
- List differences from the standard
- Estimate weekly cost for each override
- Does each override have a reason and an end date?If not: send a response request to the owner. Back to step 4.
- Draft requests to owners and operators
- Did the owner reply within the response window?If not: escalate to the engineer and remind the owner. Back to step 6.
- Engineer approves restoring the standardThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Recheck the system after changes
- Override report and restored settings
How it decides
An override is acceptable only with a reason and an end date. Others are ranked by weekly cost and sent for response.
- Accept an override with a reason and an end date
- Rank by estimated weekly cost
- Escalate after 3 business days without reply
- Never restore safety or freeze protection settings automatically
