Building Energy Use - Advanced Graphing
1
Creating a graph:
To create a graph of energy use for a building, choose the start and end dates, and the building. Some buildings have both steam and electricity data, in which case you can choose the utility type from the pull down menu that will appear. You may also choose absolute usage or per square foot usage with the "data type pull down menu." Click the "Create Graph" button.
Comparing graphs:
The graphs are draggable, so to compare two graphs after you have created them, you can either drag them to be side by side or drag one on top of the other.
Closing a graph:
Click on the red "x" close button on the upper right hand corner of the graph to close it.
Download data:
Choose a start date, end date, building, data type (and utility type if appropriate) and click the "download data" button. Your browser should prompt you to either open the file or save it to disk. It is a .csv file which can be opened either with Microsoft Excel or a text editor.
