Why It Matters
R&D reason and business value.
CH1 appears to be the dominant HVAC energy load, so chiller-side optimisation is likely the largest target.
Module Behaviour
Reduce unnecessary compressor starts/stops, avoid small short demand calls, smooth FCU demand, use minimum runtime/off-time, and analyse CH2 standby consumption.
How To Test
Use 15-minute and 30-second data to compare CH1 kWh/day, CH1 peak kW, inferred start events, runtime hours, kWh per cooling degree hour, and CH2 standby kWh.
Success Metrics
Lower CH1 kWh/day, fewer kW spikes/start events, reduced peak hourly/15-minute kW, and stable comfort.
Next Action
Create first chiller start-event detector from FOX 30-second data.
