InControl FOX critical strategic large documented

Why It Matters

R&D reason and business value.

This can become more valuable than one control module because it detects silent electricity waste.

Module Behaviour

Detect abnormal energy patterns: FCU power high when off, chiller power with no cooling demand, excessive CH1 starts, CH2 standby above baseline, high night kWh, high HVAC kWh in mild weather, high fan power near setpoint, or cooling during closed/staff-only hours.

How To Test

Generate WASTE_EVENTS or INSIGHTS output from FOX processed data. Each event should include timestamp, equipment group, suspected issue, measured kW/kWh, expected range, and estimated wasted kWh.

Success Metrics

Recurring waste events found, estimated avoidable kWh, and actionable top waste patterns.

Next Action

Define first 5 waste-event rules for FOX data.
