Equipment Performance Advisor is based on minimum asset features needed to gather, capture, and report value. Clearly defined high impact rules with opportunities identification toward energy drifts and recommended control strategies to implement.
Work order manager, Alarm manager, Service Manager, and the standard fault monetization report are a part of the standard offering.
System health monitoring and visualization
Use Asset Manager to complete the following tasks:
- Automatically collect, analyze, and display information about asset performance
- Support remote monitoring of asset parameters and energy impact for critical assets like chillers that deviate from the performance baseline
- Advanced FDD rule engine drives proactive and predictive fault identification, spaces impacted, diagnostics, and related analytics using statistical algorithms applied to historical timeseries data sets
- Generate chiller plant graphics and plot near real time data, and AHU performance anomaly analysis
- Calculate the monetary impact of faults, especially on energy cost, with cost expressions
Operational efficiency and maintenance
Alarm prioritization:
- Integration with building subsystems such as access controls, elevators, BMS, surveillance, fire platform for alarm management
- Unified system to display near real time alerts of alarms across multiple systems
- Display alarm information for immediate diagnosis and investigation
Service manager:
- Intrinsic Work Order management in OBEM for the creation and tracking of work orders created based on FDD output from Asset Manager or alarms from Alarm Manager
- Enriched data feed from OBEM to maintenance platforms with fault, diagnostics, or alarm information to make the work orders life cycle more effective
- Ability to automate Work Order creation to pass information to third-party CMMS system for managing technician information and associate any parts required for work order closure which is synced back to OBEM for fault closure
Reporting and analysis
With Report Builder you can view the following:
- Custom online report design capabilities enabled by Power BI embedded in OBEM
- Data sets from OBEM exposed to the report designer for incorporating into the
report, currently includes:
- Energy consumption data
- Chiller plant operational data
- Asset Faults including monetization
- Create and edit capabilities are enabled for Customer Success Team and regional SMEs for in-region customer support
- Customer receives read access through their Equipment Performance Advisor subscription. Users can also subscribe to create and edit capabilities as an upgrade to the Advisor Plus subscription package
Equipment register and configuration
Setup and configure equipment across multiple building systems for easy tracking
and monitoring.

FDD and Alarm Management
Create, prioritize, and address system faults and alarms, efficiently.
- Availability of standard or custom fault rule library with a predefined fault check list for easy onboarding
- Identify faults impacting core operations and diagnose them through the Advisor suite of FDD capabilities
- Detailed fault management dashboard
- Use the fault monetization report to associate cost values and report on savings and equipment and energy impact
- Monitor alarms in Alarm Manager across core assets from different subsystems impacting equipment performance
High Impact Monetization Framework - Fault Detection and Diagnostics
There are 25 high impact Fault Detection and Diagnostic strategies available through global fault rules for EPA users.
Work order integration
Automated or manual work order creation system.
- Work order summary of faults or alarms across all equipment
- Work order analytics categorized with status, response time, and equipment type
- Work order creation manually or automated based on configuration
- Assigned to individuals or teams to plan corrective actions
- Provide maintenance reports to track the number of work orders generated through faults or alarms along with the status of the tickets
