Overview

Infogrid's Electricity Monitoring solution is for customers that want to obtain and report accurate energy consumption statistics from their real estate as well as those wanting to identify energy savings opportunities from their buildings. With our Solution Views you are able to view and compare your electricity usage for your buildings, floors and at the device level.

Filter Controls

Similar to the other solution views, you can select different buildings and spaces at the top as your data source, and then choose the timeframe to view data for. You can also select 'end uses' from a list of options that will then only show data for those specific devices with those labels.

Charts and data visualizations

There are 5 visualizations in this solution and they are grouped in sections based on the questions that they answer:

  1. How much electricity have my buildings used?

    1. Building comparison

  2. How does my electricity usage compare to occupancy and air quality?

    1. Contextual energy usage

  3. How much electricity have I used in total?

    1. Total measured usage

  4. How are my assets performing out of hours?

    1. Asset performance

Generating reports from Solution Views

You can now generate reports for specific visualizations found in Solution Views by simply clicking on 'Export Table.' Doing this will generate a report that will be dowloaded to your device.

How much electricity have my buildings used?

This visualization shows you the total usage for each building selected as your data source and how it compares to the previous period. So if you have selected a month as your time period this will compare your data to the previous month.

This visualization also shows the following:

  • Total usage of the selected buildings (using main meter end use data only)

  • Percentage change vs previous time period

  • Buildings with the highest and lowest usage

  • Buildings with the biggest increase and reduction from previous period

How does my electricity usage compare to occupancy and air quality?

This visualization shows the total consumption of your selection compared to occupancy levels and either temperature or CO2 levels within your buildings. With this data you can identify which areas of buildings are heated or ventilated inefficiently or when unnecessary as well as identifying which areas are using electricity despite low occupancy.

It also shows you the following:

  • Average, low and high electricity metrics for the time period selected

  • Average, low and high temperature metrics for the time period selected

  • Average, low and high CO2 metrics for the time period selected

  • Average, low and high occupancy metrics for the time period selected

How much electricity have I used in total?

Shows the total consumption of a single or aggregated group of sensors based on your selection and how it compares to the average and expected range of usage. This data gives you the ability to identify any anomalies to be able to drive energy savings.

It also shows you the following:

  • Total usage over selected time period

  • Usage over selected time period compared to previous period and overall change in %

  • Usage over selected time period compared to average and overall change in %

  • Load profile for selected time period compared to expected range

  • Highlights weekends to identify usage during out of hours (custom out of hours doesn’t work well on aggregated charts, so we default to weekends)

How are my assets performing out of hours?

This visualization shows you how each of your assets are performing during non-working periods.

It also shows you the following:

  • Average working hours usage

  • Average out of hours working

  • Total working hours usage for each system

  • Non-working hour usage as a % of working hour usage (Overnight)

  • Non-working day usage as a % of working day usage (Weekends)

  • Red shaded area to indicate inefficient systems
