Nov 1, 2025Delivered key HVAC ontology and telemetry updates for google/digitalbuildings in 2025-11. Key features include introducing a dedicated HVAC control type for chilled and heating water valves, with refined ontology naming for water isolation valve alarms and statuses. Telemetry and alarm enhancements added new telemetry fields for isolation valves across chilled and heating systems, removed redundant commands/statuses, and introduced an alarm for the chilled water isolation valve. Ontology cleanup removed a faulty entity type definition to stabilize the model. Impact includes improved control accuracy and consistency, enhanced monitoring and alerting, reduced risk of misconfiguration, and higher data quality for automation. Demonstrated ontology design, telemetry schema refinement, alarm integration, and disciplined Git-based collaboration.
