1. A central plant comprising:
a plurality of subplants;
circuitry configured to:
obtain an expert model associated with a first subplant of the plurality of subplants, wherein the expert model comprises a map of values of one or more independent variables characterizing operation of the first subplant to one or more dependent variables characterizing operation of the first subplant;
receive input data indicating input values for the independent variables;
estimate outputs values for the one or more dependent variables associated with the input variables by:
determining a spatial relationship between the input data and the expert model;
reducing the expert model to a reduced model based on the spatial relationship; and
performing an interpolation using the reduced model to generate the output values for the one or more dependent variables; and
initiate an automated action using the output values.
