Data Visualization
Proprietary & Confidential
What is not working today?
Calculating, tracking and sharing building performance metrics is extraordinarily time-consuming.
Lack of a unified master data set
Lack of real-time metrics
Lack of ease of use & administration
Lack of collaborative interface
Proprietary & Confidential
Comprehensive: Unified historic & real-time portfolio-wide data
Simple & configurable:Intuitive to create targeted content
Easy to share: Via many channels, formats, and time intervals

Establishing the Actionable Insights
• Set specific goals. What is the question you are answering?• Cost reduction, sustainability initiatives, financial planning, tenant comfort, etc.
• Establish specific metric values and benchmarks, • Determine if a metric’s value is meaningful, and decide if the insight is worth
tracking. • Good question to ask: If the metric was at a certain level, how’s it going to impact
your decision making and actions?• Unclear answer? Probably an interesting fact, but not an actionable insight.
• Who is your audience?• Operations, management, consultants, occupants, etc.• Different needs• Different ways of absorbing information

Looking at Performance using the Optimization Tools• First four Building Optimization apps are very powerful. • Heat map is my favorite.
• So we’re going to start there.
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Maps Clearly Show Schedule • Daily operation from 7am to 3pm – consistent, good• July closed• Unoccupied weekends: Green rows - good• See temperature correlation
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map - Scheduling Error • Thermostat in override for August
Proprietary & Confidential
Tips Along the Way• Open two windows at once for comparisons• Use Tooltips
• Hover to get more info for a specific day
• Focus on the averages and the outliers• Get scale and building name on any screen grab
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map - Day Anomalies• Wed Sep 23 (Pop up covers the extended bar)
• Welcome Back Day?
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map - Day Anomalies• Holidays
• Veterans Day• Fall Break in late November, Lucky kids!
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map - Day Anomalies• Very flat for winter break.
• That’s great, everything is off. • Not seeing heating on electric profile.
• Natural gas heating.
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map - Unoccupied Anomalies• See Warmer off-hour colors in October• Highlighted by comparison to baseload.
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map - Unoccupied Anomalies• Evaluate if off unoccupied baseload is varying significantly
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map – Color versus Magnitude• Beware of the scale in the heat map• Coloring may look good, but what is the difference between high and low.• Green means lowest usage, but that does not mean it’s a good level of usage• Base to Peak Ratio is the fraction of base load to peak load
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map – Other Examples• Compressed Air, with increase in production
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map – Other Examples• Night lighting
• Retrofitted
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map – Other Examples• Sub-metered lab load.
Proprietary & Confidential
Heat Map – Other Examples• Sub-metered A/C unit for 24/5 operation with some weekends enabled.
Proprietary & Confidential
Load Profile• This is showing the same thing as the heat maps!• Easier to see the base to peak ratio• Start big, the whole year • High days are likely peak cooling demand • Low days may be holidays - these are included in the average• Minimum load shape typically represents lighting

Final Thoughts• Get comfortable with these graphic tools
• Practice• It can be fun!
• Overlap your viewing range when you look next• You know your building best
• Get the visualizations in the hands of those who know and can take action
