iSCAN stores, processes and manages this data on the cloud, and includes several features to allow users to better manage and to get full value from their data. These features include:
·Channel Tagging – allow users to easily sort, filter and find data channels of interest for analysis
·Channel Sample Period – allows users to set a sample period in minutes, to view all data at the same time-steps. This enables easier analysis and comparison of the data from various sources
·Channel Settings – users can apply settings to data channels to give better context and handling of the data by applying channel names, units, expected max/min values, the data sample type, interpolation options
·Channel Expressions – allows users to create formulas (similar to excel) to calculate the value of a data channel based on other channel data or values. This feature can be used to create “virtual” channels for a building that aren’t physically measured on-site
·Channels Notes – users can add and reply to Notes with different levels of severity on data channels to track points of interest or changes. This allows for better collaboration of building energy management and analysis projects when there multiple users involved
·Data Export – channel data can exported as a csv for further analysis in 3rd party tools if required
