Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for google/digitalbuildings. Focused on advancing ontology modeling for HVAC and sensors, with concrete feature deliveries that improve modeling accuracy, configuration reliability, and maintainability. Key outcomes include AHU type expansion, HVAC ontology cleanup and standardization, and a SENSOR lifecycle cleanup to remove unused artifacts. These efforts reduce ambiguity, streamline telemetry definitions, and enable scalable deployments across buildings. No customer-facing bugs were outstanding; however, major improvements addressed inconsistencies and stale states in the ontology, lowering the risk of misconfigurations in production.
