Configure Heating and Cooling Days for an Asset

Configure Heating Days, Cooling Days, or both for an individual asset. The asset must belong to a site with a configured location so that weather data can be retrieved for the calculation. Heating and Cooling Days can be applied to any asset type.

Open the required asset in Asset Details. Then click on Heating & Cooling Days Configuration [1].

Configuration Controls

[1]	Heating & Cooling Days Configuration	Opens the configuration dialog for the selected asset.
[2]	Enable Heating days	Enables the Heating Degree Days attribute for the asset type. The base temperature is initially filled from the tenant default.
[3]	Heating days base temperature	Sets an asset-specific Heating Days base temperature.
[4]	Enable Cooling Days	Enables the Cooling Degree Days attribute for the asset type. The base temperature is initially filled from the tenant default.
[5]	Cooling days base temperature	Sets an asset-specific Cooling Days base temperature.
[6]	Reset	Restores the tenant defaults and disables Heating Days and Cooling Days for this asset.
[7]	Save	Saves the asset configuration.

Configure the Asset

1. Enable Heating Days with [2] and, if needed, change the prefilled base temperature under [3].

2. Enable Cooling Days with [4] and, if needed, change the prefilled base temperature under [5].

3. Click on [7] to save the configuration.

Click on [6] when you want to remove the asset-specific configuration, return to the tenant defaults, and disable both options.

The value used for a calculation is the asset-specific base temperature when it is configured. Otherwise, the tenant default is used.

Check the Created Attributes

After saving, wait a few seconds and refresh the Asset Details page. The enabled attributes are created on the asset type and appear on the selected asset.

[8]	Cooling degree days	Hourly Cooling Degree Days value for the asset.
[9]	Heating degree days	Hourly Heating Degree Days value for the asset.

The service writes a new value to each enabled attribute once per hour. Because the attributes are created on the asset type, they may also appear on other assets with the same asset type. Those attributes can remain empty on other assets until Heating Days or Cooling Days is configured and calculated for the individual asset.

The hourly values are one twenty-fourth of the daily Degree Days. To view the Degree Days for a day, use Asset Data, select the relevant attribute, set the aggregation interval to Day, and use the Sum aggregation.
