Reliable Controls is pleased to announce the release of RC-Reporter® 3.6. This fully customizable, server-based application allows one to analyze the trend and runtime data from any BACnet®, Internet-connected building, and generate professional performance reports, quickly and accurately.

Improving operational efficiency

This release of RC-Reporter introduces new features, which help deliver actionable insights to improve the operational efficiency. New capabilities include:

  • A Data Set is a collection of points that share a similar purpose or characteristic, such as room temperature, setpoint, and occupancy.
  • Once created, the Data Sets can be used in queries to quickly analyze performance for groups of spaces, groups of equipment, and groups of buildings.
  • One can use Data Sets in the Contribution, Date Range, Profile, or Ranking components.

Comfort-Balancing opportunities

An Identifier Selector drop-down tool automatically appears at the top of any report using a Data Set. The Identifier Selector allows one to conveniently specify a Data Set point to be used in all of the applicable components in a report. This allows one to run a common analysis over multiple spaces without rebuilding any queries.

The Ranking component is a new and powerful tool that helps to analyze the highest and lowest values within a Data Set, such as the top ten rooms with the greatest demand for electricity. A new sample report has been added to illustrate the use of Data Sets and the Ranking component showing an analysis of the temperature deviation for several rooms. RC-Reporter extracts intelligence from the archived building data and helps to pinpoint and rank energy-wise and comfort-balancing opportunities to support the continuous optimization strategy.
