Systems and methods for implementing automated intelligence-based bidding for repair services for environmental control systems in monitored buildings

摘要

A system and method are provided for implementing an automated bidding process in which a preliminary system-generated diagnosis (pre-diagnosis) of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system difficulty may be generated and forwarded to a plurality of available or pre-selected HVAC repair facilities or contractors for soliciting and receiving competitive bidding for repair services from those HVAC repair facilities or contractors. A system-based automated solution is provided to lessen the burden on building owners or operators in soliciting “knowledge-based” bids for undertaking repairs to correct HVAC system issues raised in an automatically-generated HVAC system pre-diagnosis. An automated platform and/or scheme allow a plurality of HAVC contractors to offer bids for the repair services based on a pre-diagnosis forwarded to the plurality of contractors as part of a bid solicitation process for the repairs.
