1. A system for controlling building equipment devices, the system comprising:
a processing circuit comprising a processor and memory storing instructions executed by the processor, the processing circuit configured to:
generate a first combination profile indicating a number of active devices within each of one or more device groups according to a first combination of the building equipment devices;
generate a second combination profile indicating a number of active devices within each of the one or more device groups according to a second combination of the building equipment devices;
compare the first combination profile against the second combination profile to determine whether the first combination is redundant with the second combination, wherein in response to determining the first combination and the second combination are redundant, the system is further configured to (i) store the first combination profile in a database and eliminate the second combination or (ii) delete the second combination from the database;
generate control decisions for the building equipment devices based on whether the first combination is redundant with the second combination; and
operate the building equipment devices in accordance with the control decisions.
