| 5 | Portfolio | |||||
| Management | All roles will need view access to KPIs to evaluate the performance of their building or contractor (e.g. Total Estimated Cost Impact / TECI, comfort KPIs, energy KPIs, equipment asset, TBD) | All Roles | ||||
| 6 | Access to | |||||
| Design Documents | As an FM / O&M / Super User, I need access to mechanical drawings, including sequence of operations, and mechanical schedules. Ideally provided by GSA regions and hyper-linked to associated graphic (e.g. link on UUI chiller graphic navigates to chiller sequence of operations) | All Roles | ||||
| 7 | Work Order System | We need a high level summary of KPIs (past due work orders, high priority work-orders, etc.) and the basic ability to update work orders (write capability) from the UUI (e.g. reassign a work order, edit date, add log comment or change priority). Additional functionality would require navigating to the work order system. | All Roles | |||
| 8 | Energy Monitoring | Please provide a high level summary of relevant energy metrics (EUI, kW, real time % of monthly historic demand, time/temp at peak demand, GHG, etc.) and navigation link to GSA's MUSE platform (Metering, Utilities, Sustainability and Energy). We'd also like to be aware of meters not communicating and instances when the values are not updating or are outside of expected thresholds. | All Roles | |||
| 9 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||
| - Thermographic Floorplans | We need the ability to quickly scan and visually identify zones outside of temperature setpoint at the floorplan and building level. | All Roles | ||||
| 10 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||
| - Overrides | We need to understand what equipment, setpoints, or statuses have been overridden along with a user log of changes made. | All Roles | ||||
| 11 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||
| - Alarms / Fault Detection | We have reoccuring freezestat issues that we've been unable to resolve, we'd like to have a replay (DVR) abilty on our AHU graphics (or any graphic) so we can review the graphic at the moment of alarm or fault. | All Roles | ||||
| 12 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||
| - Rogue Zones | Currently, it takes time to drill down to understand what zone is driving demand (i.e. setpoints for reset strategies) on primary equipment (air handlers, chillers, etc.). Ideally we would automate this process of identifying these zones along with any rogue zones that struggle to meet setpoint (temperature, airflow, etc.). | All Roles | ||||
| 13 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||
| - Equipment Summaries | In addition to identifying rogue zones, we also need a real time summary of all equipment served by primary equipment (e.g. vavs rolled up by air handler). This way we can quickly compare zone temperatures, setpoints, damper positions, valve positions, etc. to ensure consistent setpoints and to help identify potential issues that may not register as alarms or faults. | All Roles | ||||

| 16 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||
| - File Repository | We need to make sure we have access to the most current program files for BAS controllers. Providing a path to a file repository (e.g. Google Drive) would create this resource so that we have an available backup. | Super User, O&M, FM | ||||
| 17 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||

| 19 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||
| - Event Based Scheduling | As an Energy Manager, I see an opportunity to reduce the over-conditioning of unoccupied spaces. I'd like to create event based scheduling for meeting rooms so they are only conditioned when occupied (e.g. create a calendar in Google and have 3rd party scheduling software push that schedule to zone level controller). This calendar would be managed and approved by onsite staff. | Energy Manager, FM, O&M | ||||
| 20 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||
| - Event Based Scheduling | As part of the onsite team, we need to be aware of schedules created via event based scheduling | FM, O&M | ||||
| 21 | Building Monitoring & Control | |||||

Preference on ability to navigate directly to log comments in NCMMS for further information on that equipment. | FM, O&M |
Regional Director
| Role: | ||
| Regional Director | The Regional Director needs high level access to sites in their portfolio and the ability to use KPIs to identify sites outside of expected thresholds. |
| Item | Application | User Story / Objective | Similar Need | Proposed solution to address User's Objective | |
| 5 | Portfolio | ||||
| Management | All roles will need view access to KPIs to evaluate the performance of their building or contractor (e.g. Total Estimated Cost Impact / TECI, comfort KPIs, energy KPIs, equipment asset, TBD) | All Roles | |||
| 6 | Access to | ||||
| Design Documents | As an FM / O&M / Super User, I need access to mechanical drawings, including sequence of operations, and mechanical schedules. Ideally provided by GSA regions and hyper-linked to associated graphic (e.g. link on UUI chiller graphic navigates to chiller sequence of operations) | All Roles | |||
| 7 | Work Order System | We need a high level summary of KPIs (past due work orders, high priority work-orders, etc.) and the basic ability to update work orders (write capability) from the UUI (e.g. reassign a work order, edit date, add log comment or change priority). Additional functionality would require navigating to the work order system. | All Roles | ||
| 8 | Energy Monitoring | Please provide a high level summary of relevant energy metrics (EUI, kW, real time % of monthly historic demand, time/temp at peak demand, GHG, etc.) and navigation link to GSA's MUSE platform (Metering, Utilities, Sustainability and Energy). We'd also like to be aware of meters not communicating and instances when the values are not updating or are outside of expected thresholds. | All Roles | ||
| 9 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Thermographic Floorplans | We need the ability to quickly scan and visually identify zones outside of temperature setpoint at the floorplan and building level. | All Roles | |||
| 10 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Overrides | We need to understand what equipment, setpoints, or statuses have been overridden along with a user log of changes made. | All Roles | |||
| 11 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Alarms / Fault Detection | We have reoccuring freezestat issues that we've been unable to resolve, we'd like to have a replay (DVR) abilty on our AHU graphics (or any graphic) so we can review the graphic at the moment of alarm or fault. | All Roles | |||
| 12 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Rogue Zones | Currently, it takes time to drill down to understand what zone is driving demand (i.e. setpoints for reset strategies) on primary equipment (air handlers, chillers, etc.). Ideally we would automate this process of identifying these zones along with any rogue zones that struggle to meet setpoint (temperature, airflow, etc.). | All Roles | |||
| 13 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Equipment Summaries | In addition to identifying rogue zones, we also need a real time summary of all equipment served by primary equipment (e.g. vavs rolled up by air handler). This way we can quickly compare zone temperatures, setpoints, damper positions, valve positions, etc. to ensure consistent setpoints and to help identify potential issues that may not register as alarms or faults. | All Roles | |||
| 14 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Alarms | We need a quick summary of critical alarms that require immendiate response and don't want to be overwhelmed with nuisance alarms on non-critical equipment. We'd also be interested in tracking the re-occurance or frequency of alarms (e.g. chiller frequently tripping on safety). Preference on a parent - child grouping, i.e. initial alarm is parent and subsequent child alarms rollup or nest under inital parent alarm (helps reduce alarm fatigue). | All Roles | |||
| 15 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Indoor Air Quality | We need a summary of IAQ related issues within the building. This could include a summary of the highest CO2 readings, high/low humidity, IAQ related alarms or faults, potential occupancy levels as available. To avoid custom graphics for each site or individual piece of equipment, templates for graphics should be easily configured depending on equipment / sensors available (e.g. one canned IAQ summary for sites with CO2 sensors and one canned IAQ summary for those without) | All Roles | |||
| 16 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - File Repository | We need to make sure we have access to the most current program files for BAS controllers. Providing a path to a file repository (e.g. Google Drive) would create this resource so that we have an available backup. | Super User, O&M, FM | |||
| 18 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Smart Sensors | As available, we'd like to see the total occupancy of the buildings, both at the building and floor level. Preference on current and historic summaries. | FM / Regional Director | |||
| 20 | Building Monitoring & Control | ||||
| - Event Based Scheduling | As part of the onsite team, we need to be aware of schedules created via event based scheduling | FM, O&M | |||
