Load Analytics is a powerful tool that allows you to analyze your building’s utility consumption patterns. Now you can capture your observations and share them with others via Utility Notes.
Take notes for all utility types: Electricity (kW), Water (GPM), Gas (CCF), Heat Transfer (KBTU), and Steam (MLB).
Begin a conversation with your colleagues and dedicated Aquicore team members by using the new comments feature.
Keep and review a dynamic historical record about your consumption. Comments posted on a Utility Note will be saved in one place so that you can reference them at any time.
Follow the step-by-step instructions below to take advantage of this feature.
