What is BAAP? / Building As A Person

A building that explains what it needs.

BAAP connects building data with technical knowledge to explain what is happening, why it matters, and what to do next.

Building As A Person. Senses to notice. Memory for context. Reason to understand. A voice to explain.

BAAP in one line

An operating layer above building data.

  • signals become incidents and priorities
  • technical context becomes readable
  • operators get a next action, not just a graph

From the building to a conversation.

The BAAP operating model
01

Senses

What is happening?

  • Meters & sensors
  • BMS & HVAC
  • Alarms & device logs
02

Memory

What do we know about this building?

  • Measurement history
  • Technical documentation
  • Service records & schedules
03

Reason

What does it mean?

  1. Connect the evidence
  2. Apply rules & constraints
  3. Check the answer
04

Voice

An explanation you can use.

“Ventilation is still running after closing. Check the schedule override.”

“Which measurements support that?”

Ask, clarify, add context

A simplified view of how measurements, knowledge, and people connect through BAAP.

01 / How the data becomes useful

A reading is the beginning. Context makes it meaningful.

BAAP brings live signals and the building’s accumulated knowledge into the same picture. Each step adds something the next one needs.

  1. 01

    Gather the signals

    Bring measurements, equipment states, and events together from connected systems, gateways, APIs, or data exports.

    A signal

    AHU-03 · fan running · 22:10

  2. 02

    Give them a place

    Align times and units, check for missing data, and associate each point with its equipment and zone.

    A building context

    AHU-03 → ventilation → office, floor 2

  3. 03

    Connect the knowledge

    Compare current behaviour with history, schedules, documentation, and operating rules to investigate the likely cause.

    A useful connection

    Office closes at 18:00. Ventilation is still on.

  4. 04

    Explain the next step

    Check the conclusion against the available evidence and constraints. Describe the issue, its impact, and what to verify or do next.

    An actionable explanation

    Check the schedule override before changing settings.

02 / Put the model to work

Three ways to start. One connected understanding.

An incoming signal, a question from your team, or a planned task can start the same process: find the evidence, reason with context, and respond.

A detected issue

Ventilation is running after hours.

Evidence & context

Equipment
AHU-03 · running at 22:10
Schedule
Office closes at 18:00
History
Usually stops after closing

BAAP connects the dots

Compare the fan state with the occupancy schedule and previous evenings. A schedule override is a possible cause; it needs checking.

The building’s voice

“The second-floor ventilation is still running after the office has closed. This may be using energy without a need for ventilation.”

Next step

Check whether an override or an approved evening event explains the extended operation.

The conversation continues

“There is an evening event today. Include that in the assessment.”

Illustrative scenarios · example data and responses

Building As A Person

The answer is part of a conversation.

People can question a conclusion, add missing context, and record what was done. That history supports the next investigation, while new measurements help check the result.

  1. 01Explain
  2. 02Discuss
  3. 03Act
  4. 04Check the result

Your building already has a story. Let’s make it understandable.

Start with the data you have and one question that matters to your team.
