Introduction This Start-Up Guide is intended to provide a new user with a

framework to reduce the time needed to become familiar with the

basic functions and workflow associated with Opus Orchestrator.

Typically used as the basis for the free half-day commissioning

class (for new accounts) this Guide is used as a reference for the

Novar trainer/instructor, but it can also function as a post-training

reference. As a highly graphical environment with an intuitive user

interface, Orchestrator is easy to learn, but a very robust User Help

function provides additional support.

This Guide is divided onto five sections:

• Minimum System Requirements and Logging-On

• System Overview with Basic Navigation

• Application Feature Overview (Premium Version)

• Use Case

• Glossary

To insure you have the most current version of this Guide, please go

to www.novar.com/user_guide to access the newest publication.

Green- energy used is close to predicted

Blue- energy use is less than predicted

Red- energy use is greater than predicted

Gray- predicted energy use

Orchestrator/Energy uses a proven methodology for

establishing performance baselines used to detect anomalies in

building energy consumption. Using the concept of “data bins”

—defined as a grouping of independent variables (outdoor air

temperature, day-of-week, hour-of-day) with which a value of

another dependent variable (building energy consumption) is

associated—meaningful correlations can be defined that

accurately model energy usage.

The Orchestrator/Energy multi-dimensional model defines

building energy consumption as the dependent variable and

outdoor air temperature/OAT, hour-of-day/HR and day-of-

week/DOW as the independent variables. As data populates

the “bins” over time, the model is “trained” and becomes

increasingly effective in establishing a historical baseline for

key energy performance indicators. For each bin, the predicted

energy consumption for the bin’s set of outdoor air

temperature, day-of-week, and hour-of-day is the median value

building energy consumption for all of the points in the bin.

This predictive modeling is displayed within the application

using a basic color scheme (See above).

Figure 7. Binning

ORCHESTRATOR_QUICK_GUIDE 6/27/2012

For the latest technical documentation, visit www.novar.com/manuals 6

The “Binning” algorithm is an excellent analytic function for

using historical data build an “anticipated use” model ideally

suited for identifying deviations in consumption. However, it is

important to note that it is neither a “benchmarking” nor a

“building modeling” application. How to compare a site to a

known industry or account-defined standard and how to use

advanced modeling algorithms to calculate “whole building”

performance will be addressed in future Orchestrator releases.

Scorecard

The Scorecard view allows the user to check the health of a current

site or enterprise or other defined grouping of sites at-a-glance.

Demand Profile

The demand profile view allows for comparisons of prior year over

year data by day. Selecting the different options to compare data

from a time range versus the previous year vastly changes the

demand profile chart.

The key below the demand profile chart shows what the different

color ranges signify. The blue mark shows what time range has

been selected and is shown. Each overlaid average has a different

color and is defined in the key so the user can identify which

Expected and Actual

The Expected and Actual chart provides an additional comparison

of the daily actual consumption against the model's expected daily

consumption. (For a review on how the Expected consumption is

calculated, please refer to The Model section.) The actual

consumption is charted in red with the expected in blue. Energy

savings is occurring when the red line is below the blue line.

Emissions CUSUM

The graph on the CUSUM Emissions chart displays the amount of

cumulative CO2 emissions and cumulative CO2 emissions

reductions produced at the building or group of buildings selected.

The blue line represents the plotted cumulative pounds of CO2 gas

(left vertical axis) emitted over the time period selected. The

calculated emissions are derived by the amount of energy

consumption multiplied by a standard emissions value[1] specific to

a geographic location. The red line represents the reduction of CO2

emissions and corresponds directly to the energy savings for the

period selected. When there is less energy use than the model's

expected consumption, there is an increase in energy savings and a

reduction of CO2 emissions. The total CO2 emissions for the site

and the total CO2 reductions are provided at the top of the chart.

Energy CUSUM

The graph displayed on the Energy CUSUM chart is the plot of the

cumulative energy savings and/or cost over the period selected.

When the Energy Savings radio button is selected, the graph of the

cumulative energy savings is drawn with a total energy savings for

the period provided at the top of the chart. When there is more

consumption than the model's expected consumption for the period,

the Total Energy Savings is a negative value.

Calendar

In the Calendar view the daily load profiles can be compared to one

another across any given month. Each load profile includes red,

blue, and green color coding along the load line. Blue and red

represent low and high outliers respectively. Also, each day is color

coded for whether the energy usage for the day is above (red),

below (blue) or as predicted (green) by the colored symbol next to

the date in the chart. The chart also shows when the maximum

demand for the month occurred (red diamond at the 8th of the

month) and when the minimum demand for the month occurred

(blue diamond at the 1st of the month).

In the example above of three consecutive days, the user can

note a pattern. Red patches appear at the end of every day and

show that more energy is being used in the morning than is

expected to be used. This is another way to determin

was considered on average. Both of these days may look good

overall but we can see that looking at the performance by hours

shows areas of improvement.

In the first store (top row) during the first five hours, less

energy was used than was expected, and in the last three hours

more energy was used.

In the second store (bottom row) the first four and last two
