Recommendations
4 items
1

Correct CHW Delta-T Degradation to Restore Chiller Efficiency

high

Low CHW Delta-T (avg 2.79°C vs 5.5-7.8°C benchmark) drives poor COP (2.34) and high kW/RT (2.29), likely due to low flow, fouling, or valve issues.

2

Optimise Chiller Staging for Optimal Part Load Operation

high

Chillers operate at suboptimal PLR (0% in 40-80% range, avg 1.02), causing inefficiency spikes during load transitions.

3

Resolve Cooling Tower-Chiller Mismatch for Better Condenser Performance

medium

Tower utilisation mismatch (2.08 ratio vs load) contributes to poor COP and high kW/RT at partial loads.

4

Conduct Fault Detection on Outliers and General Maintenance

medium

9 outliers (CHWS_Temp, WCPC_5_Part_Load) indicate sensor faults or intermittent equipment issues requiring investigation.

Conversational AI Interface

Ask questions about your data in plain English. The AI responds with relevant charts, insights, and follow-up suggestions. Build on previous analyses and drill deeper into specific findings with natural conversation.

  • "Show me equipment performance trends"
  • "Which chillers are underperforming?"
  • "Generate a COP trend analysis"
  • "Compare efficiency against ASHRAE benchmarks"

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats are supported for data upload?

CONTEXUS AI supports Excel (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV file formats. The system automatically detects column headers, data types, timestamps, and equipment identifiers. BMS export files from major manufacturers (Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Siemens, Schneider) are recognised and optimised for analysis. Maximum file size is 50MB, supporting datasets with millions of data points.

How does the AI generate insights from my building data?

The platform uses advanced Large Language Models (LLMs) combined with domain-specific training on HVAC, energy, and building systems data. After upload, the AI identifies equipment types, analyses temporal patterns, detects anomalies, and compares performance against ASHRAE benchmarks. Insights are presented in natural language with supporting charts and specific recommendations for optimisation.

What types of analysis can the AI perform?

Three core analysis types are supported: Trend Analysis identifies patterns, seasonality, and performance degradation over time; Performance Review benchmarks equipment against industry standards (COP, kW/RT, efficiency ratios) and identifies optimisation opportunities; Anomaly Detection flags outliers, sensor faults, and unusual operating conditions that may indicate equipment issues or energy waste.

Is my data secure and confidential?

Yes, enterprise-grade security protects all uploaded data. Files are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Data is processed in isolated environments and never used for model training. Automatic deletion policies remove files after analysis unless you choose to save them. SOC 2 Type II compliance and regular security audits ensure data protection.

How do the AI-generated recommendations work?

The LLM analyses your data against ASHRAE standards and industry best practices, then generates prioritised recommendations ranked by impact (high, medium, low). Each recommendation includes technical details (e.g., CHW Delta-T deviation, COP values, kW/RT metrics), root cause analysis, and specific action items. Recommendations are actionable and can be exported for maintenance teams.

Can I have a conversation with the AI about my data?

Yes, the conversational interface allows natural language queries like 'Show me equipment performance trends' or 'Which chillers are underperforming?' The AI responds with relevant charts, insights, and follow-up suggestions. Chat history is preserved, allowing you to build on previous analyses and drill deeper into specific findings.
