Optimal Start graphics (introduction)

Описание: This lesson explains why optimal start control strategies are often misunderstood, poorly tuned, and undervalued, not because the logic is wrong, but because there’s no clear way to visualise and prove performance. In many BMS projects, optimal start is only checked to see if it works, not whether spaces are reaching setpoint on time or how much energy is being used to achieve it.

The key takeaway is that a dedicated optimal start graphic is critical. It allows you to tune performance properly, balance comfort and energy efficiency, and clearly demonstrate value to the building owner. Without proper graphics, trends, alarms, and reporting, optimisation becomes a “trust us” exercise. Strong visualisation turns optimisation into something measurable, defensible, and commercially valuable, supporting better outcomes and stronger long-term maintenance contracts.
