Results Screen Templates

Workspace:  Results Visualization

Using Results Screen Templates

The process for utilizing the available Result Screen Templates is fairly simple (see image below):

  1. Select "New from Template" from the Result Screen ribbon section and a pop-up dialog box will appear (see image below)
  2. Select the Desired Result Screen Template from the list in the dialog box (see available Result Screen Templates)
  3. If there are selection options displayed in the lower portion of the dialog box, such as available Results Sets,  zone listing per Results Set, loop type or other, make the desired selections.  The selections displayed are dependent upon what output variables the Results Screen Template are displaying.
  4. Select Create
  5. The Result Screen Template is created and the output variables that are included in the Results Set that match those that are a part of the Result Screen Template will be displayed in the Results Views that have been predefined.  The Result Screen Template (shown above) is the "Loop-CHW" (shown below), which has both the CHW Loop - 1 and HW Loop -1 boxes selected.

Note:  The image shows the list of Result Screen Templates that are included with the Simergy version 1 installation

 

Result Screen Template (RST) Selection Options

Simergy Version 1 contains the following Result Screen Templates

Result Screen Template Names Descriptions
Building Electricity and Gas A set of four (4) Results Views that displays yearly Electricity for the facility on the left side in two formats.  The first is a monthly 2d bar chart, and the second is a surface chart.  On the right side the two Results Views show the two same type of views, but for the Gas for the facility.
Component-Boilers A set of two (2) Results Views that on the top view displays the monthly gas consumption for the selected boilers side by side in a monthly bar chart with the Outdoor Dry Bulb temperature graphed as well to so the potential relationship.  The bottom Results View also has the Outdoor Dry Bulb Temperature graphed, but the other variables on the line chart are Boiler Water Inlet and Outlet Temperature.
Component-Chillers A set of four (4) Results Views that allows the comparison of four different sets of output variables for the selected chillers.  The output variables include Plant Loop Cooling Demand, Chiller Evap Water Inlet and Outlet Temperatures, Chiller Evap Heat Transfer, and Chiller Evap Water and Cond Water Mass Flow Rate.
Component-DX Cooling example coming soon...
Component-Pump Set A set of four (4) Results Views that enables a comparison between Pump Bank Electric Power and Pump Bank Mass Flow Rate in sets of views side by side.  The top Results view is an hourly view for a period in May, allowing a closer look at a strategic time of the year, while the lower Results Views allow the overall year view.

Loop Air Temperature and Load example coming soon...
Loop-CHW A set of four (4) Results Views that has three Results Views looking at the Plant Loop Cooling Demand graphed in three different ways to enable different performance vantage points and a Results View comparing Plant Loop Inlet and Outlet Node Temperature to each other as well as the flow rate for a portion of July.
Loop-HW A set of four (4) Results Views that has three Results Views looking at the Plant Loop Heating Demand graphed in three different ways to enable different performance vantage points and a Results View comparing Plant Loop Inlet and Outlet Node Temperature to each other as well as the flow rate for a portion of January.
Loop-Air A set of three (3) Results Views that provides three different performance perspectives for the Air Loops selected.  The first is a comparison of the total heating and cooling coil energy for the Air Loop.  The second is a comparison of the Mixed Air and Outdoor Air Mass Flow Rate, and the third is a surface chart of the total cooling coil energy to enable identification of key periods of consumption over the course of the year.
Zone Conditions A set of three (3) Results Views that include the same set of variables for each (Sensible Cooling and Heating Energy for the zone and the outdoor dry bulb temperature), but vary the period of time enabling an overall view (year) and two closer looks (January and July).
