How to Use Usage Graphs

Usage Graphs allow you to view HVAC usage information for your site. These can be filtered by Resolution (hours, days, months), Type (run-time, energy usage, energy costs), and Duration (start time to end time).

The Usage Graph displays the current month, with the top bar graph displaying Heat Usage and the bottom bar graph displaying Cool Usage, but the information being displayed can be adjusted based on the filters you apply to the graphs.
