Patent attributes
The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for monitoring building efficiency by a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. In an aspect, an HVAC unit including a memory and a processor coupled with the memory is disclosed. The processor may be configured to establish a current building efficiency state value of a current run cycle of the HVAC system. The processor may also be configured to determine an building efficiency state deviation value based on a difference between an average building efficiency state value of a set of previous building efficiency state values and the current building efficiency state value. The processor may further be configured to determine whether the building efficiency state deviation value satisfies a building inefficiency threshold. The processor may also be configured to provide an indication including an inefficiency status to a device associated with the HVAC system based on a determination that the current building efficiency state satisfies the building inefficiency threshold.
