WHY ARE ADVANCED REPORTING & ANALYTICS OPTIONS IMPORTANT?

The purpose of automated HVAC fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) is to utilize real-time system data to identify problematic issues before system performance is compromised. When used in conjunction with a service maintenance agreement, your system will have the complete set of tools necessary to ensure issues are addressed for your day-to-day operations and analytics that will help prevent future failures and maximize the life of your equipment.

Fault Detection and Diagnostics can:

• Automatically detect/report system anomalies that can lead to energy waste or reduce equipment life.
• Proactively identify potential failures before they lead to expensive capital expense.
• Improve system performance, increase reliability, and prevent unplanned downtime.

Fault Detection Diagnostics & Analytics

Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) is a continuous, preventative process that detects and alerts staff of equipment issues and helps to identify the root cause BEFORE system performance is compromised.

FDD notifications are automatically generated in the WebCTRL® system to warn operators of system problems, which may be causing equipment to run inefficiently, wasting energy and/or degrading occupant comfort, or causing premature wear/reduced life of HVAC equipment. The Department of Energy estimates FDD alarming can reduce energy use by up to 15%.

Reports can be generated to visually display the quantity and type of alarms for specific equipment, allowing maintenance staff to quickly identify problematic equipment and to take corrective action.

Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) utilizes the robust algorithms, real time data and sophisticated reporting tools of the Automated Logic WebCTRL system. FDD can measure, anticipate, provide insight, and automatically respond to system conditions that are not necessarily critical, but may be trending that way – all with the goal of improved operational performance and sustained energy efficiency.

Included in our FDD & Analytics Package: IntelliSuite WebCTRL Health Monitoring Application

As part of the IntelliSuite package, the WebCTRL Health Monitoring application provides insight into the health of the WebCTRL building automation system and its associated controllers.

An intuitive web portal feeds key performance indicators (KPIs) via online dashboards, providing a complete picture of system health in real-time. Proactive maintenance strategies can then be deployed, helping to improve performance and extend system life.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Maintain peace of mind that your system is being proactively and continuously monitored and analyzed.
• Gain actionable insights from your Automated Logic System via the online portal.
• Improve system performance, increase reliability, and prevent unplanned downtime.
• Receive notifications when upgrades and patches are available to stay current and secure.
• Reduce or eliminate risk and data loss.
