How to use:
In this page you can visualize energy consumption from any building within Unito Building Stock.
- First you have to choose the particular building, directly from the map;
- Second you have to select the year and the type of data you want to visualize (Active Energy, Reactive energy, daily and nightly consumption ratio, ...).
- Finally, you can visualize a year consumption overview and a comparison among all sites.
You have to choose the building, the year and the particular type of data you want to look.
There are different types of data available:
- Active Energy represents the real electrical energy consumptions;
- Reactive Energy doesn't represents a real energy consumption. It measures the phase displacement for the AC current due to inductances and capicitances;
- Daily and nightly consumption comparison: the ratio (F2+F3)/F1 shows the night and holiday consumption ( F2 and F3 ) against dayly consumption ( F1 ). For istance, a ratio of 1 means that a building consume the same during the night and during the day. A ratio of 2, the double, and so on. It's a first good index in order to understand if the energy management of a building is efficient or not.
In this page you can visualize various graph for any building you choose directly from the map:
- Focus on chosen building: in this page you can find the energy consumption per months and the total for the whole year;
- The Scatter Method: hows a preliminary analysis for a building stock. The Scatter Method shows a comparison between absolute Electrical consumption ( Y-axis ) and the Consumption per meter square ( X-axis ) among all UNITO buildings. This type of graph is very useful in order to quickly identify high inefficient buildings or to choose buildings with very high consumption. In fact, the four coloured quadrants reveal different priority. The horizontal and the vertical quadrant splits correspond to the average of the consumption of the building with the highest consumption. The four quadrants, respectively, represents:
Bottom-left quadrant: Low priority. The low priority is explained because of the low absolute electrical consumption and a relatively high efficiency in the ratio consumption per meter square. Thus, any maintenance work can change a little the UNITO total electrical consumption;
Bottom-right quadrant: medium priority. The medium priority is explained because of the low absoulte electrical consumption and a low efficiency in the ratio consumption per meter square. Thus, relatively to the UNITO total consumption, any maintenance work can affect a little the total consumption but there are high inefficiency within the building structure.
Top-right quadrant: Very high priority. High consumption and high ratio of total electrical consumption per meter square. Any little maintenance work can really affect the UNITO total electrical consumption.
Top-left Quadrant: High Priority. High consumption but low total electrical consumption per meter square ratio. Thus, any maintenance work can affect the UNITO total consumption but it could be quite difficult to improve the energy efficiency of the building.
