WORK MODE · PROFESSIONAL

Energy & Performance

Record equipment operating performance, compare it only with an explicit approved or known healthy baseline, and track degradation using the same project Equipment Register and Engineering Evidence history.

PROJECT OPERATING DESK

Use this Work Mode inside a real Project

See role-relevant attention, actions, evidence and connected context without learning the module structure.

Typical work in this mode

Record chiller, pump, fan/AHU or cooling-tower performance
Set an approved or known healthy baseline
Compare measured KPI with the captured baseline
Review equipment performance history
Open Issue Finder when degradation needs diagnosis

Common problems you may be solving

High kW/TR
Low system efficiency
Airside performance degraded
Water-side performance degraded

Equipment Performance depth

Performance workflows support chiller kW/TR, pump wire-to-water efficiency, fan/AHU wire-to-static or wire-to-total efficiency, and cooling-tower approach. Baselines and tolerances come from OEM, commissioning, approved project data or a defensible accepted healthy operating point—never an invented universal target.

Need full traceability?

Professional workflows connect the job to the Project and equipment so readings, evidence, issues, corrective actions, verification and reports stay together.

These are planned enhancements, not features required to use the current workflow.

Load-normalized performance benchmarking
Plant-level energy aggregation
Automated energy issue report
Cross-project benchmark comparison

Work Mode ≠ subscription plan. Switch Work Modes freely as your job changes. Free tools and Basic Issue Finder remain useful on their own; professional package capabilities control saved Project, evidence, verification and reporting workflows.
