Energy ⚡️
Overview
The Energy dashboard provides a complete view of electricity consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions across the estate. It supports configurable tariffs, standing charges, and monthly budgets so that what the dashboard reports aligns with your actual contract and finance assumptions.
Use this dashboard to:
Track consumption against monthly budget
Convert kWh into cost (£) and emissions (kgCO₂) for ESG and finance reporting
Identify the heaviest-consuming floors, resource types, and individual circuits
Forecast end-of-month consumption and cost
Detect overnight or weekend phantom load
Dashboard Structure
The dashboard is organised into four tabs:
Monitoring
Data
Map
Floor Heatmap
A top-of-page metric switcher toggles every chart between Energy Consumption (kWh), Energy Cost (£), and Energy Emission (kgCO₂).
Tab 1 — Monitoring
The primary analysis view, combining KPIs, trends, breakdowns, and a Sankey flow.
Total Energy Consumption (KPI Gauge)
Gauge with budget thresholds.
Total consumption (kWh) shown as a gauge against the monthly budget. Status colours:
🟢 Good — under 50% of budget
🟡 Warning — 50–75% of budget
🔴 Over Budget — above 75%
Total Energy Cost (KPI Gauge)
Gauge with budget thresholds.
Total cost (£) for the period, including standing charges, with the same Good / Warning / Over Budget banding.
Total Energy Emission (KPI Gauge)
Gauge with budget thresholds.
Total emissions (kgCO₂) for the period.
Energy Overview
Compact KPI card.
Current consumption, with a percentage delta against the previous period.
Energy Trend
Line chart with Hourly / Daily / Weekly granularity tabs and a forecast extension.
The core trend chart for the selected metric. Includes:
Reference lines at 50%, 75%, and 100% of monthly budget
A linear-regression forecast extending the line into the future (6 hours / 3 days / 2 weeks depending on granularity)
Use it to: monitor in-period progress against budget and project where the month will end.
Energy by Resource
Horizontal bar chart with Top N / Bottom N controls.
Resources ranked by total consumption, cost, or emissions.
Use it to: find the heaviest consumers — usually a small number of resources account for most usage.
Energy by Weekday
Bar chart with budget reference lines.
Total consumption / cost / emissions per day of the week.
Use it to: validate that out-of-hours usage drops as expected, and detect weekend baselines that should be lower.
Energy Across Floors and Resources
Sankey flow diagram.
A hierarchical flow from Floor → Resource Type → Individual Resource. Ribbon width corresponds to consumption.
Use it to: present an estate-wide energy story in a single image, suitable for executive and board reporting.
Configurable Parameters
The dashboard exposes calculation parameters that update every chart:
Voltage (V)
Converts ampere readings to kWh
Power Factor
Adjusts for electrical efficiency
Tariff (£/kWh)
Converts consumption to cost
Standing Charge (£/day)
Daily fixed charge added to cost
Emission Factor (kgCO₂/kWh)
Converts consumption to emissions
Monthly Budget (£)
Sets the threshold bands for status indicators
Tab 2 — Data
Energy Data Table
Sortable data grid.
Raw consumption per resource, including kWh and ampere readings with voltage and power-factor conversions applied. Supports CSV export.
Tab 3 — Map
Energy Map View
Interactive geographic map.
Every building plotted on a world map, colour-coded by total consumption.
Use it to: compare energy performance across sites and identify outlier buildings.
Tab 4 — Floor Heatmap
Energy Floor Heatmap
Threshold-banded overlay on the floor plan.
Energy density rendered directly onto the building's floor plan, with green / amber / red bands.
Use it to: find energy hotspots within a floor — for example, server cabinets, kitchens, or chronically over-conditioned zones.
Filters & Controls
Building, Floor, Resource, Resource Type
Date range with presets and custom ranges
Granularity tabs on trend chart
Top N / Bottom N selectors on resource ranking
Metric switcher: Consumption (kWh) / Cost (£) / Emissions (kgCO₂)
