Overview of Energy Reporting
The Energy Reporting extension allows you to generate reports, such as energy consumption, emission, cost, budget or performance, that display details of various facilities, such as buildings, business complexes or manufacturing plants.
To work with energy reports, you must install the Energy and Power Reporting Templates extension and add it to a management station project.
The Energy Reporting application uses logical entities known as managed meters to obtain the consumption details for various media, such as electricity, gas, or water. The consumption reports display the data from all the related managed meters even if you do not have the required scope rights for some of the managed meters.
The extension Energy and Power Reporting Templates provides templates that allow you to work with the following report types:
Load Profile is a WSI based report. It displays the power of an interval for a selected period.
Max Power is a cache based report which displays the max value of an interval for a period.
The Consumption Cost Report provides information on the total energy cost, energy cost per media such as coal, nuclear, solar or wind.
The following information displays in the report.

The Consumption Pie report is executed only for those managed meters having media group as Electrical. It provides a comparison between the consumption of all the managed meters below the selected aggregator node and usage of those meters.
In the following example, the report is executed by selecting the campus aggregator node.
Consumption Node and Usage report displays the consumption details of meters grouped either according to their usage and/or by their first level hierarchy. The report is executed from aggregator nodes in a view such as a building or floor.
The data displayed in the report depends on the option selected in the Parameter dialog box. The options include:
Summary Usage
Groups and displays the consumption details of meters according to the usage.
Details Usage
Groups the consumption details of meters according to usage and as per the selected time interval for the specified time period.

The Power Usage Effectiveness Report provides the ratio of energy consumption by the IT equipment within a facility with the total energy consumption of the entire facility for the specified time period and interval. This report is applicable only for managed meters with electricity as the media group.
To execute the PUE report, it is necessary to have a managed meter whose usage is set to IT Equipment in the view hierarchy. For more information, see Managed Meters Workspace.
This report is divided into the following sections:
- List of Managed Meters with IT Equipment Usage: Displays the list of managed meters that measure the energy consumption of the IT equipment.

For more information, see Configuring the Advanced Reporting Configuration Page for Energy Reports.
- Period: Time period for which the report is generated along with the interval for which the data is displayed.
- Summary Table: This table displays the power usage effectiveness (PUE) for the last day, last week, last month, and last year with respect to the date on which the report was generated. For example, if the report is generated on 14th December, 2017, the following information displays:

- Last Week: W49 2017
- Last Month: November 2017
- Last Year: 2016
The PUE value is calculated as follows: Consumption of managed meters displayed in the List of Managed Meters with All Usage/Head Consumption Managed Meter section / consumption of managed meters displayed in the List of Managed Meters with IT Equipment Usage section.
