The Energy Controlling tool allows you to see data captured by the building's energy sensors in graphs. You can access these graphs in two places:
•in the Energy Controlling section on the sensor details page.
•if your VertiGIS FM license includes VertiGIS FM Buildings, by clicking the Energy Sensors (
) icon on the building details page.

Data for meter reading values not recorded by the sensor are not included in the Energy Controlling diagrams on the sensor details page.
The Energy Controlling graphs do not appear on the building's Energy Controlling page if all of the sensors listed in the Sensors section have the Evaluation of Building check box unchecked in the sensor details.
Sensors
The Sensors section beneath the Energy Controlling graph lists the sensors assigned to the building.
Sensors Section
If a sensor in the table is red, its Discarded property has been set to Yes. You can edit the sensor details to reactivate the sensor.

Building Details Page
If your license includes VertiGIS FM Buildings, you can also access the Energy Controlling graphs on the building details page for the building selected in the Display Underneath field in the sensor details.
Building Associated with Sensor
To access the Energy Controlling graphs from the building details page, click the icon.
Energy Sensors Icon on the Building Details Page
If the building has multiple sensors for different type of sensors and energy forms assigned to it, you can toggle between them by clicking the icons for the various energy forms.
Energy Form Sensor Toggle for Energy Controlling Graphs
Links to energy sensors managed in VertiGIS FM Energy can only be established on the building details page. For example, if you select a real estate in the Display Underneath field in the building details, no linking icons appear on the real estate details page.
