1. A method of managing a building automation environment, the method comprising:
determining coordinates of a wearable device and an associated wearer in the building automation environment;
rendering a representative view of a portion of the building automation environment based on the determined coordinates and an environment map associated with the building automation environment, wherein the representative view includes a multi-dimensional view of the portion of the building automation environment and wherein the portion includes one or more devices in the building automation environment;
wherein determining coordinates of the wearable device and associated wearer in the building automation environment further includes mapping relative coordinates of the wearable device to predetermined coordinates of the building automation environment, and validating the mapped coordinates based on a scannable input to the wearable device, wherein the scannable input is provided at a predetermined location in the building automation environment; and
wherein the environment map includes geometric coordinates of the devices from building model data comprising a dataset conforming to one or more Building Information Modelling Standards;
modifying operation parameters of the portion of the building automation environment through one of gesture-based and voice-based input from the wearable device to the one or more devices using the communication channel;
detecting the devices in the portion of the building automation environment based on the environment map, wherein the devices include a set of devices not directly visible to occupants of the portion of the building automation environment;
determining an optimal route from the coordinates to a further predetermined portion of the building automation environment; and
guiding the wearer to the further predetermined portion by rendering directions indicating the optimal route.
