    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating graphical elements in a user interface are shown according to various embodiments. Various plant designs may be simulated under scenario conditions to predict energy usage and cost. A user may indicate to perform an economic feasibility analysis for one or more simulated plant designs. Financial performance data may be generated for the one or more plant designs according to one or more analysis parameters. Financial performance data may be a Net Present Value, Internal Rate of Return, or Payback period. A graphical element may be generated in a user interface to present the generated financial performance data. Financial performance data may be compared to threshold values to determine if the plant design is acceptable. Financial performance data can be compared for different plant designs to choose the optimal plant design.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling building equipment include simulating operation of the building equipment at a plurality of initial points to generate corresponding values of a first control objective and a second control objective that competes with the first control objective, automatically generating a new point at which to run a new simulation based on the plurality of initial points and the corresponding values of the control objectives, running the new simulation at the new point to generate corresponding values of the control objectives, classifying a subset of the plurality of initial points and the new point as Pareto-optimal points based on the corresponding values of the control objectives, and operating the building equipment at a Pareto-optimal point selected from the subset of the plurality of initial points and the new point classified as Pareto-optimal points.
