datamine analysis tool.xls – tutorial

1 General Remarks This document is a tutorial for the MS Excel software “datamine analysis tool.xls” which has been developed by IWU in the frame of the Intelligent Energy Europe project DATAMINE. More details about the project you find in the DATAMINE Synthesis Report from December 2006 “Concepts for Data Collection and Analysis” which can be downloaded from DATAMINE project website http://env.meteo.noa.gr/datamine .

The data analysis tool enables an evaluation of databases with the DATAMINE data structure. As soon as the data are collected during the DATAMINE Model Projects the tool will

• give a general survey of the databases • give a survey of the energy performance indicators in a standardised scheme • make possible a cross country comparison of energy performance indicators

The quantities that can be analysed by the tool will be for example:

• building envelope: − U-values of walls, roofs, floors, windows − specific heat transmission losses

• performance of the systems for heating, DHW, ventilation, cooling, lighting − system losses and efficiency factors − calculated energy demand per m² of the building and of the systems − measured energy consumption per m² − CO2 emissions per m²

The functional specifications of the tool are:

• combination of different databases • plausibility checks • overall statistics: number of buildings of different categories, building sizes and ages • correlation of variables: e.g. energy consumption depending on building size, mean U-value,

window size and other parameters, correlation of calculated and measured consumption – cross country comparison

• detailed statistical analyses for building subsets: U-values and system efficiencies as a function of building age and size etc. – cross country comparison

2 Installation • Save the zip-file "datamine_analysis_tool.zip" on your computer.

• Unzip all files and folders to one directory of your hard disk.

• Check that the sub directory "data" has been created with several test files ("*.db.xls").

• Check that the sub directory "LogFiles" has been created with at least one log file ("*.log.xls").

• Open the file "datamine analysis tool.xls".

• When opening a message box "Security Warning" will appear. Please click the button "Enable Macros".

• Before working with the tool please read the advices in the Worksheet "Info".

3 Rules for working with the tool

Editing input cells

• Please, edit only yellow highlighted cells.

• Don't change any other cells. Especially rows and columns should not be inserted / deleted!

• "If you want to copy and paste input data please use the following shortcuts: copy: <Ctrl>-<c> paste: <Ctrl>-<f> = paste special / formulas (don't use standard paste <Strg>-<v> !)" If the copy range comprises several horizontally adjoining cells the selected paste range must have the same width (that means it should comprise the same numbers of horizontally adjoin-ing cells, not only one cell).

• Never cut and paste input cells! Never use <ctrl-x>!

• You can delete the data in a range of input cells by selecting the whole range and then clicking the button "Clear selected input data". The selected range may comprise also headlines or other cells - only the input cells (yellow) are affected by this clearing. (This feature does not work when you work with splitted panes and the button is in a different pane.) The content of single input cells or ranges that comprise nothing but input cells may also de-leted by pressing <del> as usual.

Further options

• If you want to perform different analysis based on different data fields you can make a copy of this analysis workbook. The name of the analysis workbook is not fixed, you may change it as you want. By clicking the button "Clear all input data" the Sheet "Analysis" will be prepared for a new analysis.

• By clicking the button "Log ..." you can save the definitions and results of the analysis in a log file. The path and file name is defined in the sheet "Settings". Only for MS Excel 2003 and higher versions the respective charts can be copied. If you work with other Excel releases you

will have to copy the diagram and paste it as "pciture (enhanced metafile)" in a Word docu-ment.

You may later copy the logged definitions back into the input fields of the sheet "Analysis" (please use paste special / formulas <Ctrl>-<f>, see above)

4 General overview: programme features and proceeding

4.1 Preparation: data selection and import

Databases to be analysed

First you have to select the databases to be analysed (fig. 1).

All databases should be formatted according to the DATAMINE database standard (see extract in fig. 2). You may use the file "test database - country A.xls" as a template.

The databases have to be located in a specified sub directory. The name of the sub directory is predefined (“data”) but can be changed if necessary. The database names can be selected by a dropdown list. If another database is added to the sub directory the dropdown list has to be up-dated by the respective button.

In principle an analysis of a database with different data field names or additional data fields is pos-sible. You find more information in the sheet “Info” of the tool.

Datafields to be analysed

The next step is the selection of the data fields that will be analysed:

− "Selection table": in case of the DATAMINE format always "datamine"

− "Selection variables": selection of the data field names to be analysed

− "Limits plausibility check": selection of the lower and upper limit of the plausibility check.

− "Predefined evaluation ranges": If evaluation ranges for the statistical analysis (see below) al-ready exist for a variable they are shown here. Changes and adding more ranges is possible in the sheet "Settings".

fig. 3: Selection of variables to be analysed

Composed variables

In this area additional variables can be defined which are composed of variables from the database (fig. 4). The formulas can be edited in the sheet "Settings". Please use the Microsoft Excel syntax (fig. 5).

fig. 4: Selection of composed variables

fig. 5: Definition of composed variables (sheet „seetings“)

Data import

By clicking the button "Load / refresh selected data" the selected data from the selected databases will be loaded into the analysis tool. You find the imported data in the sheets "Database 1", "Database2", ...

As a last data field the variable "check plausibility" will be added, which will have the value =1 when the check result is positive and =0 when it is negative. At the end the date of the data import will always be added.

Due to the plausibility check for each value the import of data will take some time. The time de-pends on the number of data fields and data sets as well as on your computer resources. In order to accelerate this procedure it is recommended to close other Excel applications before starting the data import.

4.2 xy-Analysis By the xy-Analysis the dependence of two variables can be determined. The required definitions and are shown in fig. 6

Overall filters

These filters are defined for the whole xy-analysis. The following filters may be selected:

− "Database": filtering of single databases (without selection all imported databases will be ana-lysed)

− "Parameter": filtering of variables. If you want to apply the plausibility check (see above), you must set: check_plausibility = 1.

Data to be analysed

There are 4 analysis ranges with 1 x-variables and 1 to 5 y-variables.

For each xy pair a supplemental database filter may be applied. Without input all imported data-bases will be evaluated.

fig. 6: Required definitions for the xy-Analysis

Performing the xy-analysis

By clicking the button "Perform xy-Analysis" the analysis will be per-formed with the selected boundary conditions. As an output you find all xy value pairs in the sheet "xy1 Diagram Values" which makes them available for the respective charts.

Results

In the area “Results” (fig. 6) you find the output for a linear trend.

Titles diagram

You can choose which xy pairs you will show in the charts (checkboxes in fig. 6). Furthermore you can put in the diagram titles (e.g. in your language).

Overall filters

The overall filters are defined for the whole xy-analysis (fig. 8). The following filters may be se-lected:

− "Database": filtering of single databases (without selection all imported databases will be ana-lysed)

− "Parameter": filtering of variables. If you want to apply the plausibility check (see above), you must set: check_plausibility = 1.

11


fig. 11: Definition of evaluation ranges (sheet „seetings“)

Performing the statistical analysis / results

You may analyse the dependence of the selected variable from 1 or 2 other variables (e.g. for fre-quency distributions). For this you have to select one or two variables in the upper left corner of the result matrix per dropdown list. These fields may also be empty if you want to make a simple analysis (for example only one medium value).

Please, take care that you have actually loaded the data you want to analyse (see area above: "Datafields to be analysed").

In the sheet "Settings" you may change the evaluation ranges of the parameters. You may also add further parameters and their evaluation ranges.

By clicking the button "Perform Statistical Analysis" the analysis will be performed with the selected boundary conditions. The output of the analysis appears in the range "Results" which is described above.

12


Statistical analysis – charts 1 ... 4

The output of the result matrix is also displayed in the charts 1 to 4. There are several input fields for the titles of the diagrams.
