HVAC Monitoring

Attributes

Inefficient Operation

A condition that is present whenever the HVAC is running in ostensibly unnecessary environmental situations, resulting in inefficient use of power.

Examples:

  • Ambient temperature is within control bounds and does not warrant cooling
  • Environmental conditions are such that HVAC system is operating outside of its range of capabilities

Requirements

Compressor Power

Compressor Power as measured at the power supply of the equipment itself.

Type: Signal
Unit Of Measure Family: kW

Temperature

The ambient external temperature as measured in a neutral location away from HVAC inlet/outlet sites.

Note that this value may be derived from equipment sensors with a suitable coefficient to account for location bias.

Unit Of Measure Family: F
Optional: True
Type: Signal
