Results
Monitoring charts for detecting abnormal behaviours and the variables causing the fault.
The method allows the monitoring of a large number of variables, embracing not only consumption, but other variables from the BEMS/BMS or other external sources, e.g. sensor networks, weather stations, etc. An extension was made to deal with large buildings (e.g. malls, hotels, housing buildings, etc.) or communities (e.g. neighbourhoods, residential districts, industrial or business parks, etc.) that incorporate multiple entities, that may be affected by interactions among them, and that require both an overall monitoring of the infrastructure and an individualised monitoring of each sub-entity.
