A system which may enable users to plan, design and observe various building systems in an abstract and intuitive view, such as with a map view. In this view, virtually all facility information and objects may be displayed as simple shapes (e.g., rectangles). Just by some drag-and-drop, a user may provide shapes and rearrange positions of these shapes quickly to reflect a desired space relationship. Objects (e.g., components, devices, controllers, and the like) may be placed, moved around, and associated with each other on a facility layer or floor. Further, the map view may be used together with a tree view and a list view to provide alternative design ways. Changes made in any of the views may be synchronized with the other views. Various presentations of the facility may be provided.

1. A computer-implemented method for designing a building system, comprising: defining, using a computer, building information; anddeveloping, using the computer, building information; andwherein: defining, using the computer, building information comprises: selecting a building from a category from a drop down menu on a display in communication with the computer;selecting a type of building from a dialog box; andselecting a building; anddeveloping, using the computer, building information comprises: selecting a number of floors for the building from the dialog box;in the dialog box, a user giving a name to each of the floors;designating areas for each floor; andfurther comprising:representing the building and floors with a map view diagram shown on the display; anddragging and dropping geometrical shapes on the diagram to represent objects in the building and to reflect space relationships among the objects and wherein if the building is represented with a tree view and a list view, then the map view can be automatically generated and synchronized with the tree view and list view. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising using an insert table metaphor in the display to select the number of floors and a number of areas by dragging a cell in the insert table. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein: the space relationships indicate the objects as distinguished from each other in the building; andthe objects are components, devices and controllers which can be placed, moved around, connected, and associated with each other. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: adjusting the shape, size, position and location of each area, as needed, on each floor; andinserting, merging, splitting and/or deleting areas as needed. 5. The method of claim 4, further comprising adjusting areas on various floors and their space relationship relative to areas on other floors so that the floors of the building are congruent, or otherwise, as desired, relative to each other. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: dragging and dropping geometrical shapes, representing one or more new objects, on an area of a floor in the diagram of the building; andadjusting as needed a location of each new object after its representative shape has been dropped in an area. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising differentiating types of objects with graphical features on the geometrical shapes. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising: expanding or collapsing a group of objects as necessary to obtain a clearer view of the objects in the display;selecting or deselecting a type of objects; andshowing or hiding a type of objects. 9. The method of claim 7, further comprising: providing a database for information of each object;defining associations of objects as represented in the map view diagram on the display; andwherein: an association of an object with another object can provide contextual information from the database of the one or more objects; andcontextual information comprises connection, memory status and communication status. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein: a connection among objects is auto-generated based on a defined association; andthe contextual information is provided for facilitating the defined association. 11. The method of claim 6, wherein: a riser diagram showing the objects and their connections is automatically generated; andreports, drawings and a control program of the building are automatically generated. 12. A display view, displayed on a display in communication with a computer configured to execute instructions, for a building system comprising: a map view of a building displayed on the display;a tree view of the building displayed on the display; anda list view of the building displayed on the display; andwherein a computer executes instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to: synchronize live data of all three views; and feed said synchronized live data to the map view to show a dynamical presentation. 13. The display view of claim 12, wherein: the tree view comprises different tree structures;the map view is a tree map having a graphical view of a tree structure, riser-like abstract building model, and a building reduced into cross sections; andthe list view is a spreadsheet integrated with a hierarchical structure. 14. The display view of claim 12, wherein: one or more buildings are displayed;a building has one or more locations in it;the one or more locations have objects which can be automatically arranged as necessary for a clearer view of the objects; andobjects are grouped and graphically coded according to type. 15. The display view of claim 14, wherein: the one or more buildings, including locations and areas, can be navigated about on a display;a user can navigate to a destination in the building on the display by a zoom and pan operation or by clicking on the destination; andupon arriving at the destination, information about the destination is shown on the display. 16. A system for design and presentation, using a computer, of a building having two or more floors, comprising a design of the building presented with a tree view and a list view; wherein a map view of the building can be automatically generated and synchronized with the tree view and the list view: a flat presentation of a building on a display in communication with a computer;andwherein the computer executes instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to show on the display of the flat presentation of a building: a plan view for each floor of a design of a building; andobjects of the respective floors in the respective plan views of the design of the building. 17. The system of claim 16, further comprising: a perspective presentation of the design of the building on the display; andwherein the computer executes instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to show on the display of the perspective presentation of the design of the building: an angular view of the floors along an optical axis having an angle not parallel or vertical relative to a major surface of the respective floors; andobjects of the respective floors in a spatial relationship to each other. 18. The system of claim 17, further comprising: an overlay presentation of the design of the building on the display; andwherein the computer executes instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to shown the display of the overlay presentation of the design of the building: overlapping plan views of the floors; andobjects of each floor with a graphic feature identifying the objects of each floor and objects of two or more floors having a vertical overlap. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein the flat presentation, the perspective presentation and the overlay presentation are used for viewing and designing the building and floors, and for placement of objects in the building. 20. The system of claim 18, wherein: the views, presentations and diagrams of the building or portions of the design of the building can be displayed on a screen of a small screen device;zoom and navigation features of the small screen device can be applied to the views, presentations and diagrams; and the small screen device can be a hand-held, mobile, or permanently situated device. 21. A computer-implemented method for designing a building system, comprising: defining, using a computer, building information; anddeveloping, using the computer, building information; andwherein: defining, using the computer, building information comprises: selecting a building from a category from a drop down menu on a display;selecting a type of building from a dialog box; andselecting a building; anddeveloping, using the computer, building information comprises: selecting a number of floors for the building from the the dialog box;naming the floors;designating areas for each floor; andfurther comprising: representing the building and floors with a map view diagram shown on the display; anddragging and dropping geometrical shapes on the diagram to represent objects in the building and to reflect space relationships among the objects; andwherein if a building model and objects are generated from a list view or a tree view, then a map view of the building model and objects can be generated and synchronized with the tree view or list view.
