Analytics & Reports
Chapter contents: creating analytics and reports, saving and visualizing data
Analytics
The analysis function in Eliona can be used to display and evaluate values (data points). The data can be visualized and analyzed via various freely selectable diagrams, and exported as PDF or CSV for further purposes.
In an analysis, the data from your building is collected and analyzed in a standardized manner. The energy consumption of a building can be optimized and the data from different systems and buildings can be compared.
Constant analytics also allows you to identify faults in a system. For example, when defective, a system may consume more energy than in its original state. This can be traced by analyzing the appropriate data.
Example: You are currently performing various energy efficiency optimizations in your building. You now create an analysis of the energy consumption in the relevant building. From the analyzed data, you can now see how the optimizations are having an effect on the energy consumption.
Overview: You are given an overview of all existing analyses. The last unsaved analysis is also shown.
Charts
After that, the desired asset must be selected:
Chart Data
After you select the asset or even open an existing chart to edit it, you can make the following settings in the "Data" section:
Multiple axes: Activate the "Multiple axes" checkbox to display multiple axes in the same chart.
Asset and attribute selection: Several attributes can be shown in the same chart, including the attributes of a single asset.
Data type selection: The attribute value can be displayed as aggregated or current value. It can be calculated as average, minimum or maximum value. Also, the measurement frequency can be set if an aggregated value is to be displayed (Tag, M15, H1).
Time period: Select the time period of the displayed data. The possible ranges are Today, Yesterday, Last Week, Last Month, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days or a user defined range.
Chart Template
In the "Template" area, you can select the chart type:
Chart Settings
In the "Settings" area, the headings of the chart and the axes of the diagram can be titled.
Tooltip - Timestamp format
Under Settings>Tooltip you can also customize the timestamp format of charts.
The timestamp format follows the following convention: https://moment.github.io/luxon/#/formatting?id=table-of-tokens. In the Table of tokens, you can find the correct tokens and their meaning.
Example: For the output "Sunday, September 7, 2023 (Week 37)" you would need to use the following timestamp format cccc, LLLL c, y ('Week' WW)
Edit or download charts
If you have an existing chart open, you can click on the icon in the upper right corner of the screen to edit it, remove it, display it on top or download an evaluation in the desired format.
