Wikipedia deni&on
Analy0cs is the discovery and communica&on of meaningful
paBerns in data. Especially valuable in areas rich with recorded
informa&on, analy&cs relies on the simultaneous applica&on
of sta&s&cs, computer programming andopera&ons research to
quan&fy performance. Analy&cs oHen favors
data visualiza&on to communicate insight.

Analy&cs In Buildings
Meaningful paBerns of data are important in:
Hea&ng and Air Condi&oning
Security
Energy Monitoring
Demand Response
Demand Management

Water U&liza&on
Gas U&liza&on
Ligh&ng Control
Environmental Monitoring

Analy&cs Empowers IoT and IoE

IoT and IoE is interes&ng on the surface.
Machines communicate with other machines.
Pass data

When analy&cs are applied, the data passed becomes

powerful
Pass alerts that cause other sequences to be executed
Fewer points of failure as analy&cs are applied closer to the
edge.

Visualiza&on and Human Interac&on

Humans are oHen the largest consumer of analy&cs
informa&on today.
This requires eec&ve visualiza&on to be implemented in order for
the human to understand the informa&on and act.

Mobile devices are pervasive in the world and the workforce.

Tools must allow for equally informa&ve screens suppor&ng all
mobile opera&ng systems and browsers.
Mobile Apps will also be required to allow humans to interact with
the buildings without the requirement to be logged into the
system.

Fault Detec&on Dened

Wikipedia deni&on
Fault detec0on and isola0on is a subeld of
control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a
system, iden&fying when a fault has occurred, and pinpoin&ng
the type of fault and its loca&on.

Fault Detec&on In Buildings

Use the Analy&cs to create meaningful alarms and faults.
Alarms occur when there is a problem with the system causing it to stop working
and must be acted on immediately.
Comfort Impact
Safety Impact
Financial Impact

Faults occur when a system is not performing op&mally. Faults may be acted on
immediately or in the near term.

Desired discharge air temperature not achieved during cooling with cooling valve @ 100%
for 30 minutes.
Zone temperature cooling setpoint not achieved during occupied &me for 30 days.
Cooling compressor run&me is excessive compared to normal run&me under similar
environmental condi&ons.

Faults Generate Alarms

Faults do generate alarmseventually.
Based on fault occurrences.
Fault has occurred 20 &mes in the previous 12 weeks.

Based on consecu&ve ac&ve &me

Fault has been ac&ve and unresolved for 45 days.

Based on nancial impact

Fault costs $1,000/hour during occupied hours

Responsive Analy0cs

Responsive Analy&cs
Responsive analy&cs make it exci&ng
Create sequences that respond to analy&cs and fault condi&ons
of other systems
Create demand management rou&nes that respond to power
analy&cs and fault detec&on algorithms.

Responsive analy&cs in the cloud

Run the rou&nes in the cloud again the data model.
Run the rou&nes based on tags.

Porbolio Sequences
One Rou&ne Methodology
Demand Management is a rou&ne that can be implemented
consistently across a porbolio of buildings or campuses.
Requires consistent tagging and reliable data connec&vity. (IoT
and IoE)
Create the rou&nes in one place.
Maintain the rou&nes in one place.
Run uniquely on each property based on local variable
subscribed in the rou&ne.

Porbolio Example

Is this Real?
Current deployed and func&onal in the following
porbolios

General Growth Proper&es

Department of Veterans Aairs
AT&T
University of Sydney
Proctor & Gamble
Several others
