To see basic visualizations of consumption data for an asset, select a building in the Buildings section, a service area in the Service Areas section, or a metering point in the Metering Points section on the Energy Report page and click the Energy Report (
) icon.

Filter Data
Charts and tables on the energy report page show different data that varies based on the years entered in the From, Until, and Base year text boxes in the Filter section at the top of the page. Available data also depends on the energy form associated with the selected data objects. Buildings and service areas can show comparisons between consumption data for different energy forms depending on the energy forms associated with their metering points. Because a metering point can only be associated with a single energy form, the energy report page for a metering point will only show data for its one energy form.
You can hide data for an energy form by deselecting its check box in the Medium section, or show the data by selecting it.

Energy Forms
Most charts and tables energy report page show energy consumption for a given energy form: heating, electricity, or water. In charts, heating consumption is shown in red, electricity consumption is shown in green, and water consumption is shown in blue. Charts and tables that compare consumption of various energy forms show all three colors.

Target Values and Thresholds
You can display target values (desired energy consumption levels) and thresholds (consumption levels above which the Enter value's energy usage should never surpass) on the charts available on the Energy Report page. The graphs visualize these levels against the Enter value's actual energy consumption.
Energy Balance Graph with Threshold and Target Value
You can hide the target values or threshold by clicking their buttons in the legend at the top of the graph.
For buildings, target values and thresholds are set in the Building Management Usage (Usage.xls) import file, which you can download on the Administration > Interfaces > Import page.
File for Importing Target Values and Thresholds
You can then enter the target values and threshold values in the corresponding cells in the rows whose buildings you want to set the values for.
Excel File for Target Values and Thresholds
When you have entered the intended values, you can import the file into VertiGIS FM. Refer to Import for more information.
Contact support for assistance importing target values and thresholds. For service areas, the target and threshold values are set in the Target Values and Limits section on the service area details page. To set the target and threshold values for the Enter value, click the Edit (
) icon.
Target Values and Limits Section
You may need to edit the section authorization to see the Target Values and Limits section on the service area details page.
You can define individual sets of target values and thresholds for each Utility used in the Enter value. They are entered per m² of the net area of the buildings in the service area.
Target Values and Limits
The Enter value whose values are shown in the example above is assigned to a building whose Net Area is 200 m². This means its target value is 2,000 (10 × 200) and its limit value (threshold) is 4,000 (20 × 200) in the corresponding Energy Balance graphs for that utility.
Show or Hide Years
You can show or hide the years or months shown in a comparative chart by clicking on them at the top of the chart.
In the example below, values from 2023 and 2024 are compared because they are selected above the chart. The years 2020, 2021, and 2022 are not shown because they are deselected (shown in grey).
