Virtual Streams

Virtual Streams are a custom data stream derived from existing data streams or calculated using specific logic. It allows for flexible manipulation and aggregation of data.

Last updated 3 months ago

Virtual streams enable users to tailor data analysis to their specific needs, combining existing data into meaningful and actionable insights.

Below are some examples of how Virtual Streams can be utilized:

  • Custom Calculations

    • Energy Efficiency Metrics Create a virtual stream to calculate energy efficiency ratios, such as kWh per square meter or kWh per production unit.

    • Temperature Differences Calculate the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures to monitor insulation performance.

    • CO₂ Emission Estimates Derive carbon emissions from energy consumption data using a specific emission factor.

  • Aggregated or Combined Data

    • Total Energy Consumption Combine individual meter readings (e.g., for different zones or floors) into a single virtual stream for total energy usage.

    • Summing Equipment Runtime Aggregate the runtime of multiple HVAC units to track overall operational hours.

    • Water Usage Tracking Merge water flow rates from multiple pipelines for a unified water usage overview.

  • Derived Metrics

    • Cost Estimations Convert energy or water usage into monetary values using current tariff rates.

    • Occupancy-Based Metrics Divide energy usage by the number of people present to assess per-person consumption.

    • Equipment Efficiency Calculate efficiency metrics for equipment, like chillers or boilers, based on input/output data streams.

  1. Layout of the Flow shows that there are multiple existing energy streams combined into one Virtual Stream.
