Overview

The frontend of the aedifion cloud platform makes building operations easy for Operators, Facility Management, Energy Management, and Asset Management. This article provides an overview of the main features. View usage instructions in the frontend user guide.

With every project, aedifion provides a web-based frontend offering access to some functionalities of aedifion.io, i.e., data exploration, data management, tagging and filtering functionality, setpoint writing, component mapping or automated analytics and optimization of building operations. The following overview describes the project overview and the account management. Information about the other cockpits, which provide a large part of the functionality of the frontend, is provided on dedicated cockpit overview pages. Other cockpits are

• The Asset Cockpit with a summary overview of buildings,
• The Facility Cockpit, which provides a quick overview of alarms and other messages from the technical building equipment,
• The Controls Cockpit, which gives a quick overview of the .controls algorithms currently used in the building, their inputs and outputs, and the savings and improvements realized by these algorithms,
• The Operations Cockpit, in which both the analysis results of .analytics and the created digital twins are displayed
• And the Data Inspector, which combines the possibility of a trend visualization of arbitrary datapoints and setpoint writing.

Project overview¶

The project overview provides a quick overview of all available projects. The button "To Project" can be used to navigate directly to the selected project. In addition, information on Alarms, Wellbeing and CO2-Emissions is summarized in so-called summary icons, which can be used to navigate directly to the corresponding cockpit.
