FDD

Analytics & Fault Detection

Advanced data analytics and automated fault detection to optimise performance and prevent equipment failures.

Overview

What We Deliver

We deploy analytics and fault detection diagnostics (FDD) solutions that continuously monitor your building systems for anomalies, inefficiencies and impending faults. By correlating data from BMS, energy meters and IoT sensors, our platform identifies issues such as simultaneous heating and cooling, stuck dampers and degrading equipment performance.

Early detection means lower repair costs, fewer tenant complaints and sustained energy performance over time.

Key Capabilities

  • Automated fault detection and diagnostics
  • Predictive maintenance alerts
  • Energy regression analysis
  • Equipment performance benchmarking
  • Custom rule engine and threshold configuration

Fault Detection & Diagnostics

Deploy automated fault detection rules from a library of 41+ industry-standard diagnostics. Each rule continuously monitors your BMS data and flags issues before they escalate into costly failures.

  • Library of 41+ pre-built rules covering HVAC, energy, and AHU systems
  • Configurable severity levels: Critical, High, Medium
  • Toggle rules on or off per-site with no coding required
  • Automatic root-cause suggestions for every detected fault

Summarize current alarms

Based on the last 24 hours, here are the key findings:

  • 1 critical fault: simultaneous heating & cooling on AHU-3
  • 12 recurring alarms from FCU_01, likely sensor drift
  • 100% clearance rate maintained across all zones

Recommendation: Schedule inspection for FCU_01 temperature sensor.

What is the energy impact of the AHU-3 fault?

The simultaneous heating & cooling on AHU-3 has been active for 4.2 hours. Estimated waste:

Anomaly Detection

Automatically detect outliers and abnormal patterns in sensor data using statistical analysis. Surface critical anomalies before they trigger alarms or cause equipment damage.

  • Statistical outlier detection on any BMS data point
  • Visual timeline with threshold bands and anomaly markers
  • Severity classification from minor deviation to extreme outlier
  • Integrates with FDD rules for closed-loop diagnostics
