Rule Cookbook

Open-source, standards-first HVAC fault detection. Production rules are DataFusion SQL against the Arrow/Parquet historian. Recipes use generic Haystack / SQL roles (discharge-air-temp, outside-air-temp, fan-cmd, …) — portable across modeled sites.

Two catalogs (do not conflate):

Catalog Role
DataFusion SQL — sql_rules/registry.yaml Production FDD in Open-FDD central (POST /api/fdd/run)
Pandas — open_fdd.rules (pip install "open-fdd[oracle]") Oracle / docs / notebooks on PyPI

Screen sensors first, then the two rule catalogs. Everything else in this section is under Cookbook reference.
