ENERGYMAP
SPOTLIGHTING ENERGY SAVING OPPORTUNITIES FROM HALF HOURLY ELECTRICITY DATA.
1
WHAT DOES IT DO& HOW DO WE USE IT?
EnergyMap uses Half Hourly consumption data generated by your electricity, gas or water meters to create
highly visual, useable and useful views of your site energy consumption.
The software is extremely easy to use and needs 3 clicks to start viewing and energy saving.
Click 2: click the “Choose File” button on the left hand side of your screen. You’ll need a the saved Half Hourly
CSV file provided.
Click 3: click the “Show” button to load the csv file. Loading will usually
take between 5-7 seconds.
Click 1: click the EnergyMap button at the top right of the

WHAT DOES IT DO& HOW DO WE USE IT?
There are several Energy Maps that offer different ways to uncover energy inefficiencies, savings opportunities and verify the results of any efficiency improvement projects.
These 5 maps can be selected via the dropdown on the left of the Energy Map page.

ENERGY MAP 1HEATMAP
With our Heat Map Analysis, building managers can view their energy consumption, revealing usage patterns, weather sensitivity, and opportunities for scheduling and controls refinements. With the 24 hours of the day on the vertical axis and the days of the year on the horizontal axis, Heat Map plots an entire year of hourly data — 8,760 data points — in
Set your own Min & Max levels for
uncovering unusual consumption patterns
Hover over the HeatMap to understand the consumption at any
of the day.
Note Power Consumption levels and the Time Distribution spread.

ENERGY MAP 2HEATMAP ABOVE A SET MAXIMUM
With our Heat Map Above Set Max Analysis, building managers can view their energy consumption, revealing usage patterns and peak demand patterns. This EnergyMap provides the facility to set a max level of consumption and see what usage exceeds this max level and when. This facility is helpful in viewing if consumption levels exceed any demand tariffs.
Set your own Max levels for uncovering unusual peak
consumption patterns, either by slider or numerical input
Hover over the HeatMap to understand the consumption at any
of the day.
Observe Power Distribution levels over
the set maximum

ENERGY MAP 3DAILY TOTAL CONSUMPTION
Daily Total Consumption can be used to quickly view the 24 hour consumption levels, check weekend use against what would be expected and spotlight consumption improvements due to any energy efficiency measures.
The chart gives the ability to deep-zoom into any part of the displayed data to get a deeper understanding of trends and kWh’s used.
To deep-zoom hover over the area be analysed, click, hold and drag. To
reset the zoom, click on the button that appears on the Right hand side.
Hover over the EnergyMap to understand the consumption
at any of the day.

ENERGY MAP 4DAILY PEAK CONSUMPTION
Understanding when your peak consumption occurs and what might be causing it can be a time consuming and tedious exercise. With the Peak EnergyMap you can view 365 daily peak consumption values in one view. This can instantly help you understand what’s causing those expensive peaks and what can be done to shrink them.

ENERGY MAP 5HOURLY CONSUMPTION
With our Hourly Consumption Analysis, building managers can view their energy consumption, revealing usage patterns, weather sensitivity, and opportunities for scheduling and controls refinements. With the hourly consumption on the vertical axis and the days of the year on the horizontal axis, Hourly plots an entire year of hourly data — 8,760 data points — in one view.

ENERGY MAP 5 HOURLY CONSUMPTION ZOOMED
The chart views shows the power of the zoom function by outlining a time period that warrants deeper analysis a for closer look at consumption patterns.
The top zoomed view show a into a 4-week period that gives an indication of the week-day and weekend patterns.
The bottom view zooms even deeper into a 24 hour consumption view. Note the hourly consumption points are visible
