iBPortal™ Dashboard Module is a web based real-time analytics tool for any building or enterprise. In today’s competitive market, managers can’t run a successful business if they can’t see the hidden data. iBPortal™ Dashboards take the critical data from the iBPortal™ Engine and transform, summarize and present it in the proper format needed to perform specific roles. These roles can include executive managers evaluating energy expenses, facility managers evaluating detailed information about specific mechanical equipment or general occupants understanding their behavioral impacts.

Building Automation systems or control systems tend to be more generalized and are designed for the operating engineer to operate the building. In contrast, iBPortal™ Dashboards are focused on sorting and filtering data in a powerful, dynamic and user-friendly interface to enable all users to evaluate ROI, building efficiency and mechanical effectiveness. Interactive real-time data gauges and graphs visualize your electricity, water, gas, solar, wind, geothermal, air handling unit, indoor air quality and other building data. Dashboards display trended and accumulated building data along with key performance indicators (KPIs).

Global Dashboard Properties
Within each dashboard there are global attributes that change the data within the graphs and gauges on the dashboard. There is a dashboard selector that allows users to switch between different dashboards they have access to such as switching from the Electricity Consumption to the Water Consumption dashboard.

Users can globally change the data range of data for all graph and gauge components within the dashboard.

Building and device data can be summarized or accumulated through a simple to use tree view. Users can easily look at enterprise wide data from all buildings, just select the chiller plants, or select only the 5 buildings in the northeast. All of the data is re-accumulated instantaneously and summarized in the dashboard.

Component Properties
All graph and gauge components have the ability to switch from chart view to grid view. Users can export data directly from the grid view into Excel for further analysis. Users can also override the global dashboard date range and select a date range for that specific component.

Dashboard Builder
The power of the iBPortal™ Dashboard module is the Dashboard Builder. The Dashboard Builder gives the power and flexibility of administrative users to build and customize the information and relationships on their dashboard canvas for their building and enterprise. Offering tremendous flexibility, the builder enables users to create line, multi-line, column, multi-series column, stacked column and pie charts. Users can also create 90 degree, 180 degree, 360 degree and unit specific (i.e. temp or humidity) gauges. Live building data or historical trended or totalized data can be associated to these graphs and gauges.

For example, a user would create a multi-line graph and plot outdoor temperature (left Y axis is Deg F) versus electricity consumption (right Y axis is kWh) and define all of the graph properties from color of series to data frequency. The user can then create a 180 degree gauge that is tied to the graph and displays the energy consumption data from the graph as your curser rolls over the graph. A second gauge can be created displaying the totalized electricity consumption for a given period of time. These three components can be resized and arranged on the Dashboard Builder canvas with a few simple clicks then published when completed.
