Analyzing meter interval data
Use the analysis dashboards at the meter level to visualize interval meter data. Access the dashboards from the Meter Summary page Analyze menu.
Profile dashboard
The Profile dashboard displays demand related measures in series. The default time period selected is the most recent 7 days. Up to 31 days can be selected using the time navigator.
Weekly Profile dashboard
The Weekly Profile graph enables you to overlay the demand profiles of up to 7 days in series. This dashboard is supported for electricity and non electricity data sources.
Profile Comparison dashboard
The Profile Comparison dashboard enables you to overlay the demand profile of up to 31 days based on a user defined scenario.
The Select Days to Chart section contains a grid that includes weather metrics related to each day (the weather data is drawn from the weather station assigned at the location level). The information in the table can be filtered to select information of interest (e.g. only show Mondays, or show days above a given temperature).
Select the criteria of interest to you, and then select the days you want to visualize. Click Generate Chart. The table collapses and the chart is displayed.
Maximum Demand dashboard
Use the Maximum Demand dashboard to rank maximum demand events in order from highest to lowest. A maximum demand event is defined as the maximum recorded demand (kVA) for a given day. If kVA is not captured for a given meter, then kW will be displayed. If kW aren't captured, then the dashboard will return no data.
The amount of data shown in the chart and the grid can be changed by using the setting icon on the chart, and the Number of rows to display option in the grid.
Daily Performance dashboard
The Daily Performance dashboard functions on two levels, daily and intra-day. If using the daily function (selecting two or more days from the time navigator), consumption is presented on a daily basis. Up to 31 days can be selected in the time navigator.
In addition to daily consumption information, average, min and max temperature is also included as a secondary axis. If using the intra-day function (by selecting a single day in the time navigator) the Daily Performance dashboard will display hourly consumption across that given day.
This dashboard supports electricity and non electricity data types.
Consumption Profile dashboard
The Consumption Profile dashboard allows a user to view consumption information and overlay a profile line on a secondary axis. It also provides a summary of consumption and profile information. The main use case for this dashboard is analyzing the drivers behind consumption trends.
Heat Map
The Heat Map provides a way to visualize up to 3 months of interval meter data in a simple and easy to use interface. It displays hourly consumption information in a matrix. Each cell within the matrix represents consumption on a given day in a given hour.
The color of the cell indicates the relative consumption - the darker the color the higher the consumption. You can scroll down the heat map to view up to 3 months of consumption information.
Regression analysis tool
Use the regression analysis tool to carry out baseline regression analysis of consumption against heating and cooling loads or against other performance metrics that are predictive of consumption.
The regression analysis tool helps you to identify the correlation between consumption and the predictive variables that can be used to predict consumption. For more information about the regression analysis tool, see the related link.
