Click on Performance Overview

Configuration Settings

To show any data other than consumption in your Performance Overview you need to setup Floor Area, Population (occupants) and/or Emission Factors within your database.

• Emissions factors are added underneath each Commodity – it is best to create these using the Tree Selector.
• Floor Area and Population  should be created underneath each Site as an Associated Data Channels. Once the Channel has been created, the start date and figure needs to be entered,  bearing in mind it means that the floor area was xx from this date.

Performance Score – How it's calculated, what it means

Benchmark figures

The Performance Overview benchmark categories and values are hard-coded into the software, taken from the TM 46 (2008) documentation. These values are statistically derived from sets of building data and normalised to a single representative benchmark value with due regard to Degree Day and Occupancy variations. The benchmark is the sum of electricity and thermal fossil fuel energy per square metre per year for the site category.
The Sigma Browser Interface currently calculates a raw energy per square metre per year figure for a site, unrelated to degree days or occupancy, and measures this against the TM 46 benchmark.

The coloured bar is thus a rough guide to the sites performance compared to the benchmark.
