1. A method for dynamically prioritizing alarms of a building control system, the method comprising:
over time, receiving a plurality of alarms generated by the building control system, each of the plurality of alarms associated with one or more alarm parameters that each provide a priority factor associated with the corresponding alarm;
recording a time for each of the plurality of alarms that corresponds to the time that the corresponding alarm was reported;
associating each of the plurality of alarms with an open state until the corresponding alarm is acted upon in a predetermined manner by an operator;
for each of the plurality of alarms that remain in the open state:
determining a static priority level that is based at least in part on the priority factors provided by the one or more alarm parameters associated with the corresponding alarm;
determining a dynamic priority level that is based at least in part on the static priority level of the corresponding alarm and an amount of time that has elapsed since the time that the corresponding alarm was reported;
ranking each of the plurality of alarms that remain in the open state according to the dynamic priority level; and
displaying a notification of a highest ranked alarm.
