Patent attributes
A model predictive maintenance (MPM) system for building equipment includes an equipment controller configured to operate the building equipment to affect a variable state or condition in a building and an operational cost predictor configured to predict a cost of operating the building equipment over a duration of an optimization period. The MPM system includes a maintenance cost predictor configured to predict a cost of performing maintenance on the building equipment over the duration of the optimization period and an objective function optimizer configured to optimize an objective function to predict a total cost associated with the building equipment over the duration of the optimization period. The objective function includes the predicted cost of operating the building equipment and the predicted cost of performing maintenance on the building equipment.
