- 16. Proprietary & Confidential 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 metrics value is meaningful, and decide if the insight is worth tracking. Good question to ask: If the metric was at a certain level, hows 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

- 21. Proprietary & Confidential Looking at Performance using the Optimization Tools First four Building Optimization apps are very powerful. Heat map is my favorite. So were going to start there.
- 22. 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
- 23. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map - Scheduling Error Thermostat in override for August
- 24. 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
- 25. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map - Day Anomalies Wed Sep 23 (Pop up covers the extended bar) Welcome Back Day?
- 26. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map - Day Anomalies Holidays Veterans Day Fall Break in late November, Lucky kids!
- 27. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map - Day Anomalies Very flat for winter break. Thats great, everything is off. Not seeing heating on electric profile. Natural gas heating.
- 28. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map - Unoccupied Anomalies See Warmer off-hour colors in October Highlighted by comparison to baseload.
- 29. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map - Unoccupied Anomalies Evaluate if off unoccupied baseload is varying significantly
- 30. 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 its a good level of usage Base to Peak Ratio is the fraction of base load to peak load
- 31. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map Other Examples Compressed Air, with increase in production
- 32. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map Other Examples Night lighting Retrofitted
- 33. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map Other Examples Sub-metered lab load.
- 34. Proprietary & Confidential Heat Map Other Examples Sub-metered A/C unit for 24/5 operation with some weekends enabled.
- 35. 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
