ABSTRACT

Energy data may be collected for buildings either through audits or as a result of continuous monitoring programmes. However, the data on their own are relatively useless unless they are interpreted in a correct manner. Analysis must therefore be carried out on any raw data that are collected in order to identify trends and areas in which improvements can be made. There are various analysis techniques which can be employed in order to interpret energy data. This chapter introduces the data analysis techniques which are commonly used in energy management.
