We are pleased to announce the release of NovaVue 7.0, the latest update to Nova Power’s energy management and monitoring software solution for sustainability-conscious facilities. This release includes the following enhancements:
- Support for composite devices. These are physical devices that are composed of one or more actual devices but appear as a single device in the UI.
- Support for apportioned devices. These are virtual devices that represent a percentage of a physical device (e.g. to define building-level consumption of site-level steam).
- Support for custom status flag notification levels. By default, an info-level notification is automatically logged when a status flag is set. Administrators can now set a custom severity level for each flag, on a per-device basis.
- Locale-specific units. For example, users in the United States now see temperature presented in Fahrenheit, whereas European users see temperature values in Celsius.
- New reports:
- Estimated utility cost - calculates the estimated utility cost for all buildings at a site
- Greenhouse gas emissions - presents estimated GHG emissions in kg CO₂e over the past 30 days for all buildings at a site
- Enthalpy-correlated energy usage - charts daily building energy usage in kBtu overlaid with average daily enthalpy values
- Monthly energy usage - charts total building energy usage in kBtu over a 12-month period
- Monthly energy use intensity (EUI) - charts building EUI over a 12-month period
- Monthly water usage - charts total building water usage in gallons over a 12-month period
- Monthly water use intensity (WUI) - charts building WUI over a 12-month period
- Weekly energy distribution history - charts weekly building energy usage broken down by site-level source
- Site and building notifications - presents all site or building-level notifications for a given time period
- Device data quality - identifies devices with low responsiveness for a given time period
- Numerous usability, performance, and reliability improvements.
