SEU Metrics are standardised metrics which are used to normalise SEU performance reporting, metric name and units across all sites to allow for consistency of reporting and ease of comparison. SEU Metrics are populated with data from two areas, SEU energy data comes from equipment attributes, while the SEU production data comes from site attributes.
Configuring the available SEUs
CoolPlanetOS currently allows for up to 12 SEUs to be selected for use across all sites. These 12 SEUs can be selected from a prepackaged set of over 130 SEU categories ranging from Abattoir to X-Ray machines. To select the 12 SEUs use the new “Client Preferences” menu item in the Admin Menu on the top menu bar.
Adding an Equipment to an SEU
SEUs are groups of Equipments which are all associated with a similar activity (eg HVAC, Steam, etc). They can only belong to a single SEU. If it is involved in more than one SEU, it should be added to the SEU which makes the most use of it.
To add an asset to an SEU, open the Edit view of the Equipment in the Organise section and select the SEU in the “Energy Use Category” menu.
Simple SEU Metrics
Simple SEU Metrics are metrics that are directly read from attributes, such as energy. In order for Simple SEU Metrics to be displayed in an Enterprise Dashboard, a single attribute needs to be tagged with the tag for that metric in each piece of equipment in the SEU (e.g. "Energy"). The energy from each of these is then summed together to calculate the total SEU energy. SEU Metrics are all displayed in a specific unit (e.g. kWh for Energy), however the attribute does not need to be in that unit, so long as the quantity is correct, the system will auto convert it to the correct display unit for the SEU Metric.
The outputs of SEUs (in mass, volume or area serviced), are tagged at the site level.
The following is a table of the available simple SEU metrics, and the details of the attribute they can read from. Equipments do not need to have an attribute for all of these metrics, just the metrics they wish to display in the Enterprise Dashboards.
Where to tag | Simple Metric/Tag Name | Attribute Quantity | Description |
Equipment Attributes | Energy | Energy | A single equipment attribute representing the total energy consumption for the asset. |
Equipment Attributes | Model Energy | Energy | A single equipment attribute representing the total modelled energy consumption for the asset. |
Site Attributes | <SEU Name> Product Out | Mass | A single site attribute representing the total product out (in mass) associated with the SEU. |
Site Attributes | <SEU Name> Product Out | Volume | A single site attribute representing the total product out (in volume) associated with the SEU. |
Site Attributes | <SEU Name> Floor Area | Area | A single site attribute representing the total floor area (in area) associated with the SEU. |
Calculated SEU Metrics
Calculated SEU Metrics are SEU metrics which are automatically calculated using Simple SEU Metrics. This means that in order for a Calculated SEU Metric to appear in Enterprise Dashboards, all of its associated Simple SEU Metrics need to be tagged.
The following is a table of the available calculated SEU metrics, and the details of what they represent.
Calculated Metric Name | Calculation (Expressed in Simple Metrics) | Description |
Energy / Product Out | SUM of Energy / Product Out | Input intensity KPI based on Total SEU Energy divided by total product out for the SEU (same for area). |
Energy / Model Energy | Energy / Model Energy | Deviation from Model KPI based on the ratio of main energy to modelled energy |
