PERFORMANCE PARAMETERIZATION OF PROCESS EQUIPMENT AND SYSTEMS
Performance mapping of equipment performance parameters by capturing, mapping, and/or structuralizing equipment performance data of a device for installation in a system. This includes generating performance maps which outline the expected feature performance parameter behavior of the equipment based on a set of operating parameters that capture the operating conditions. Each performance parameter on the map is representative of an operating point of specific operating conditions taken at a particular point in time. In one example, a performance parameter can be defined by an individualized set of parameter coefficients which in turn are dependent on instantaneous operating conditions. With the performance maps determined individually for devices as part of the system, and stored along with a time of testing, activities such as continuous commissioning, monitoring and verification, preventative maintenance, fault detection and diagnostics, as well as energy performance bench-marking and long term monitoring can be performed.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTING A DEVICE FROM A GRAPHICAL INTERFACE
A method, computer system, and computer readable medium for facilitating selection from a plurality of devices, each device defined by a selection range dependent on at least a first parameter and a second parameter, the first parameter and the second parameter being correlated. The method includes: displaying on a graphical interface screen a graph of the first parameter versus the second parameter, the graph having displayed thereon a plurality of regions representing the selection ranges, receiving selection of at least a point of the graph from an indicator overlaid onto the graph and which is moveable on the graphical interface screen based on control from an input device, and in response to the selection, displaying on the graph only the regions which are relevant to the selected point.
