include scalable fonts, line styles, colors, and axis
definition.
Access rights to point information through the Report
Manager are set up through the InfoCenter
Administrator assuring users only see point data
necessary to fulfill their business responsibilities.
The Scheduling feature provides for automatic report
generation using predefined schedules which allow
reports to be readily available when needed. Report
schedules define the report template that is used, the
frequency of reports, the time the report runs, the
destination of the report output (to a file location or
printer), and the range of point data with which the
report is populated.
Applications
Application solutions capabilities from Siemens
Building Technologies, Inc. combined with the flexible
InfoCenter Suite platform provide reports structured to
meet your individual needs. InfoCenter Suite delivers
solutions to ongoing facility management information
needs including:
Regulatory Compliance
InfoCenter Suite provides timely access to archived
data allowing users to answer FDA, JCAHO or EPA
inquiries, or to facilitate accurate reporting for
qualification and validation processes. InfoCenter
Suite allows easy creation of compliance reports for
verification of quality-related data.
Research Study Support
Retrieval and compilation of environmental system
data to support and validate research studies is often a
time consuming task for scientists, doctors and lab
technicians. InfoCenter Suite allows fast, easy access
to accurate historical data to support R&D information
needs. Historical temperature, humidity, and
differential pressure parameters as well as on/off
status of lights can be accessed from researchers'
desktop PCs when they need it.
Indoor Air Quality Analysis
InfoCenter Suite facilitates the analysis of indoor air
quality conditions over time and assists in pinpointing
problem areas. Reports can be used to help
determine the cause of IAQ problems, or substantiate
the air quality and environmental conditions within a
facility.
Energy Use Analysis
The ability to have an accurate picture of utility
resource usage at a facility is an ongoing need. Faced
with a growing deregulated environment, businesses
need tools to assist them in making better utility
buying decisions. By gaining an understanding of
where, when, and how energy is used, these
decisions have strong tangible support. InfoCenter
Suite can support these efforts by:
 obtaining building load profiles for electricity,
water, gas, and steam resources for budgeting
purposes;
 tracking usage to identify conservation programs
to reduce facility resource costs;
 developing reports which document usage for
major consuming equipment to verify savings of
capital improvement projects;
 using building load profiles to assess the benefits
of deregulation and changing rate structures.
Performance Analysis
InfoCenter Suite provides access to historic HVAC
system information to provide in-depth analysis,
diagnostics and optimization of facility operations.
Access to trended information for analysis allows
facility managers to take early preventive actions and
avoid potential equipment downtime, protecting
capital investments. InfoCenter Suite supports these
efforts by:
 allowing equipment operating parameters to be
viewed over time, or compared relative to each
other or a baseline, to determine operating
efficiencies.
 allowing users to detect slight operational
changes that may not result in alarm conditions,
but over time will cost the facility additional
dollars.
 using of summary functions within InfoCenter
Suite allowing for more effective analysis without
adding undue computational burdens on the
control system.
Custom Information Applications
InfoCenter Suite’s flexible platform allows Siemens to
efficiently develop client applications that meet users
specific business needs. Whether integration with
other desktop applications or complex statistical
processing is required, Siemens develops custom
client applications to meet your specifications.
