Property Types
- Building: A single physical property.
- Campus: A logical property composed of one or more child properties.
Meter Relationships
Meters may be configured to have different relationships to properties.
Abisko currently only supports campus configurations from ESPM.
-
Owned meters: Meters that are physically installed on and/or owned by a property. Owned meters can be in-metric or out-of-metric for the property on which they are located.
A meter is considered owned by the property in which it is created.
-
In-metric meters: Meters that contribute to a property’s **Whole Building **performance metrics, regardless of ownership.
Ownership and in-metric status are independent.
- A property may have meters that are owned but not in-metric → e.g. a property has a meter located on its premises, but it does not contribute to the calculation of that property’s Whole Building performance metrics
- A property may have meters that are in-metric but not owned → e.g. a campus property may have several child properties with meters that are in-metric for the campus (see below)
Examples: Campus & Child Property Meter Configurations
An example of a campus with multiple child properties with different meter configurations.
- Campus A: The campus property above owns no meters while having 5 in-metric meters that are owned across multiple child properties.
- Campus-level Whole Building performance metrics are calculated based on its 5 in-metric meters that are owned by its two child properties.
- Child properties are managed independently with their own owned & in-metric meters.
- Building 1: Has 4 owned meters, of which 3 are in-metric.
- Building 1 Whole Building performance metrics are calculated based on its 3 in-metric meters.
- Building 1 has also has 3 owned meters that are in-metric for Campus A and contribute to the Whole Building performance metrics of Campus A.
- Building 2: Has 2 owned meters, of which only 1 is in-metric.
- Building 2 Whole Building performance metrics are calculated based on its 1 in-metric meter.
- Building 2 has also has 2 owned meters, both of which are in-metric for Campus A and contribute to the Whole Building performance metrics of Campus A.
