Energy Results Reporting
Extract energy results data and turn VE outputs into stakeholder-ready results with the Energy Results Reporting script package.
Energy Results Reporting
This script package installs a set of tools focused on extracting energy results data for VE projects and generating interactive dashboards and reports with the BEM ToolBox platform. The following can be done with the Energy Results Reporting navigator:
- Manage user credentials: This optional step allows a user to enter and save their BEM ToolBox user credentials, allowing for streamlined generation of BEM ToolBox dashboards and reports.
- Extract energy results to CSV file(s): Generates an 8760 CSV file for each sim results (.aps) file selected by the user with a column for each energy source / end-use combination. The CSV format is used for BEM ToolBox tools, or can be used in custom spreadsheet tools created by the user.
- Extract energy results to bulk CSV file: Combines annual energy consumption, demand, ApacheHVAC coils load and unmet load hours data for multiple selected sim results (.aps) files into a single CSV file. This format is used for BEM ToolBox tools, or can be used in custom spreadsheet tools created by the user.
- Generate B & P Energy Results Dashboard: Generates a BEM ToolBox dashboard to compare results for a Baseline and Proposed model (or any two selected result files).
- Generate Multiple Energy Results Dashboard: Generates a BEM ToolBox dashboard to compare multiple results against each other (typically 3+ results).
- New! Generate LEED Report Card: Generates a BEM ToolBox report that calculates energy performance and LEED points for Optimize Energy Performance and Renewable Energy Production credits. All metrics in LEED v4 and v4 2024 Update are supported, plus an optional evaluation of LEED v4.1 Renewables – a popular credit substitution. Save time and get more LEED points with this new report!
- Generate LEED v4 EApc95 Report: Generates a BEM ToolBox report for the LEED v4 pilot credit for Alternative Energy Performance Metric. The report calculates all relevant energy metrics and averages the best two for a potential increase in LEED points. (US projects only)
- Generate GHG Emissions Summary Report: Generates a BEM ToolBox dashboard to analyze flat and hourly GHG emissions through interactive charts. (US projects only)
Other New features & updates:
- New B & P Energy Results Dashboard. This dashboard was overhauled and now includes site EUI, energy cost and GHG emission metrics, and new/revised plots, indicators and tables.
- Matched Baseline Files. Scripts now automatically select baseline results files that match the selected proposed file.
- SI Units. We’ve been working to support SI units across our scripts and BEM ToolBox apps. They’re now supported everywhere except LEED v4 EApc 95.
- More Energy Sources. Both results data extraction scripts support all energy sources used in the model. BEM ToolBox apps have been updated so that B&P Dashboard, Multiple Energy Results Dashboard and LEED Report Card support any energy source as well. US projects will have more default values, and user input is required otherwise.
- Renewable Energy. Extraction scripts and apps have been updated to better accommodate renewable energy and report net energy consumption. Building energy consumption is used in tables and plots do not include renewables.
Note: If you save your credentials, remember to delete them before sharing your model! They are encrypted and saved to a file in the VE Project folder, which gets included when archiving unless you delete it first. Alternatively, avoid saving your credentials and enter them each time.
