Baseline Comparison
The Baseline Comparison is a comparison of building usage to itself at a previous point in time. By default, when a site is created, it sets both the energy baseline period and water baseline period to January through December of the prior year.
Baseline Period Selector
That period can easily be changed by clicking the baseline hyperlink to launch the Baseline Period Selector.
The Baseline Period Selector lets the user pick the twelve-month baseline period. Completeness is displayed for each month and calculated for the proposed twelve-month period. The OK button will commit the twelve-month period selected.
Organization Level
Each site can have its own unique baseline period in both energy and water modes. However, it is most common that a common baseline period will want to be established for an entire organization.
An organization-wide baseline period can be established by launching the baseline period selector while selected on an organization in the tree. An additional option will be available allowing to reset all site-specific baseline periods to the selected organization-level baseline period.
