The document discusses key performance indicators (KPIs) for an automated building, including energy performance, plant monitoring, and comfort conditions. It outlines tracking seasonal energy efficiency ratios and complaints of spaces being too hot or too cold. Plant monitoring KPIs include electric motor operating hours, starts per hour, and maintenance costs broken down by type. Energy performance is optimized by matching installed cooling and heating capacity to loads based on maximum and minimum outdoor temperatures.

2. The Automated Building - KPI
• K.P.I on Real Performance!
• K.P.I on Real Savings!
• K.P.I on Real Results!

3. The automated Building, Agenda:
• Energy Performance:
• Plant Monitoring:
• Comfort Conditions:

4. Energy Performance!
• Targeting on seasonal EER & COP against
outside average Temperature and CDD / HDD.

5. Plant Monitoring!
• Electric Motors operating hours & starts per
hour counting and Service Contract
Management.

6. Comfort Conditions!
• Count “Too Hot” and “Too Cold” complaints.

7. Energy Performance_1
• Moving from season to season the maximum
and minimum outside air temperature is
moving with constant Range.
• This means the cooling capacity and heating
capacity always has to match exactly to the
heating or cooling loads.
• If not, you are missing savings more than 20 %

8. Energy Performance_2
• Remember the installed capacity is decided on
max. and min. ambient dry and wet bulb
temperature as well as, the daily Range of the
building location.

9. Plant Monitoring_1
• Service Contracts costs are to be recorded and
analyzed based on:
– Routine Maintenance
– Parts
– Labor
– Extended Warranties

10. Plant Monitoring_2
• Try to breakdown the following:
– Preventive maintenance
– Corrective maintenance
– Reactive maintenance
– Immediate maintenance
– Condition based maintenance
– Run to failure

11. Plant Monitoring_3
• Record / Trend for every constant speed
Electric Motor:
– Power kW
– Load A
– Starts per hour
– Monthly hours run

12. Plant Monitoring_4
• Add to Record / trend for Inverter Motor
Loads:
– Consumption kWh
– Cooling degree days
– Heating degree days

13. Comfort Conditions_1
• On “Too Hot” complaints:
– Investigate personally with care
– See Controls settings
– Ask Advise from Designer
– Count “Too Hot” events

14. Comfort Conditions_2
• On “Too Cold” complaints:
– Investigate personally with care
– See Controls settings
– Ask Advise from Designer
– Count “Too Cold” events

15. The End!
