Other prediction drivers - Johnson Controls - LIT-12013036 - OpenBlue Central Utility Plant - OpenBlue Central Utility Plant - v2023.Q4

Use the load prediction driver to upload up to 30 days of hourly data that captures upcoming scheduled occupancy rates, space reservations, and other relevant factors. The other prediction driver input is an index value between 0 and 100 for each hour. This value can be calculated based on the load prediction input sources you want to use to manually calculate the index value. The data uploaded is used to predict more precise forecasts of future cooling, heating, or electric loads that the plant serves. Users need to upload the data at least one week in advance to ensure that all future load predictions over the seven-day horizon account for this load prediction driver. The uploaded data gets equally allocated to all the load coils in the plant.
