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.

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

The demand profile view allows for comparisons of prior year over

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

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
easily at-a-glance. Even though the calendar dates (13, 14, 15)
are green indicating they were within expected energy use, the
user can identify areas of further improvement even on good

Days beyond the normal forecasted 2 week window will not
have icons to indicate current energy status.
After determining areas of improvement or days of interest the user
can hover over the day for more information or click on the

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
