Stable section ID: S05-CON-010-SECTION-46 · 26 content blocks
The Building Operations AI Agent may support awareness and bounded management of electrical systems without replacing required protective devices or qualified electrical work.
Electrical functions may include:
- Monitoring demand and consumption.
- Tracking circuit and equipment status.
- Identifying abnormal loads.
- Detecting power-quality events.
- Monitoring voltage, current, frequency, and temperature where available.
- Coordinating renewable generation.
- Coordinating energy storage.
- Managing authorized flexible loads.
- Detecting repeated protective-device operation.
- Supporting backup-power readiness.
- Preserving outage and fault records.
The agent shall respect the authority of circuit protection, grounding, isolation, emergency-power, and life-safety systems.
It shall not repeatedly reset a protective device without identifying and resolving the cause. It shall not energize equipment known or suspected to be unsafe, damaged, wet, incorrectly configured, or under maintenance.
Electrical optimization shall consider:
- Occupant safety.
- Equipment requirements.
- Critical loads.
- Emergency systems.
- Battery limitations.
- Utility constraints.
- Demand charges.
- Available generation.
- Weather and outage risk.
Actions involving electrical isolation, restoration, or switching shall require the authority and verification appropriate to their consequences.
