1. A method for dynamic cloud based control of building equipment of a building site via a cloud based building management system, the method comprising: (6) (5)

instantiating, by the cloud based building management system, a sequencer in response to receiving a startup request;

receiving, via the cloud based building management system, a sequence package, wherein the sequence package comprises configuration information for interfacing the cloud based building management system with the building site;

collecting, via the sequencer instantiated by cloud based building management system, building data from the building equipment of the building site based on the sequence package;

causing, via the sequencer instantiated by the cloud based building management system, a control process to execute based on the collected data; and

dispatching, via the sequencer instantiated by the cloud based building management system, a command to the building equipment based on a result of the execution of the control process, wherein the command comprises a command to control the building equipment to control an environmental condition of the building site.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: (0) (2)

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequencer is executable on one or more of a plurality of different computing systems; (0) (1)

4. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising: (0) (2)

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequence package comprises data linkage information, wherein the data linkage information comprises a tuple pair indicating a link between a physical data point of the building site and a digital data point of the data model; (0) (1)

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the sequence package comprises execution information indicating when the sequencer should collect the building data from the building equipment and when the sequencer should cause the control process to execute. (1) (0)

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the execution information comprises: (0) (3)

8. The method of claim 1, wherein collecting, via the sequencer instantiated by the cloud based building management system, the building data from the building equipment of the building site comprises communicating with a collector-dispatcher system located within the building site. (1) (0)

9. The method of claim 8, wherein collecting, via the sequencer instantiated by cloud based building management system, the building data from the building equipment of the building site comprises: (0) (3)

10. A cloud based building management system for dynamically controlling building equipment of a building site, wherein the cloud based building management system comprises a processing circuit configured to: (6) (5)

instantiate a sequencer in response to receiving a startup request;

receive, via the sequencer, a sequence package, wherein the sequence package comprises configuration information for interfacing the cloud based building management system with the building site;

collect, via the sequencer, building data from the building equipment of the building site based on the sequence package;

cause, via the sequencer, a control process to execute based on the collected data; and

dispatch, via the sequencer, a command to the building equipment based on a result of the execution of the control process, wherein the command comprises a command to control the building equipment to control an environmental condition of the building site.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the processing circuit is configured to: (0) (2)

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the sequencer is executable on one or more of a plurality of different computing systems; (0) (1)

13. The system of claim 10, wherein the processing circuit is configured to: (0) (2)

14. The system of claim 10, wherein the sequence package comprises data linkage information, wherein the data linkage information comprises a tuple pair indicating a link between a physical data point of the building site and a digital data point of the data model; (0) (1)

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the sequence package comprises execution information indicating when the sequencer should collect the building data from the building equipment and when the sequencer should cause the control process to execute. (1) (0)

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the execution information comprises: (0) (3)

17. The system of claim 10, wherein the processing circuit is configured to collect, via the sequencer, the building data from the building equipment of the building site by communicating with a collector-dispatcher system located within the building site. (1) (0)

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the processing circuit is configured to collect, via the sequencer instantiated by cloud based building management system, the building data from the building equipment of the building site by: (0) (3)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium having machine instructions stored therein, the instructions being executable by a processor of a cloud based building management system to perform operations comprising: (1) (7)

instantiating a sequencer in response to receiving a startup request;

receiving, a sequence package, wherein the sequence package comprises configuration information for interfacing the cloud based building management system with the building site;

collecting, via the sequencer instantiated by cloud based building management system, building data from the building equipment of the building site based on the sequence package;

causing, via the sequencer instantiated by the cloud based building management system, a control process to execute based on the collected data;

determining whether the sequencer has encountered a failure; and

instantiating a second sequencer to continue operations of the failed sequencer in response to determining that the sequencer has encountered the failure.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the sequence package comprises execution information indicating when the sequencer should collect the building data from the building equipment and when the sequencer should cause the control process to execute. (0)
