Interval Data overview

The updated Interval Data module and Interval Data tabs

are only available with a Smart Analytics subscription.

Interval data provides a more granular view of use and demand.

There are three types of readings in EnergyCAP:

  1. Source Readings 
    Unprocessed by EnergyCAP.
  2. Computed Readings
    Computed readings have rules and units applied. These readings are not snapped to the clock. The smallest time interval is one minute.
  3. Summarized Readings
    The summarization method is applied to the computed readings in each time interval. The smallest time interval is 5 minutes.

    Summarized readings are snapped to the clock. For example, readings are grouped as defined on the channel (5 minute, 15 minute, etc.) and are assigned to the time interval that was defined. For example, a 15-minute channel has readings at 8:15, 8:30, 8:45. 

    Summarized readings are used for reports, Powerviews, Trend Insights, and in dashboard widgets.

Interval data can uncover

  • Operational inefficiencies
  • Energy waste and savings opportunities
  • Peak demand and cost management
  • Security and scheduling issues
