      Compare Readings in Analytics

      Compare data for different reading types or sensors on the same graph.

      Compare Reading Types

      The Compare Readings feature of the Conserv analytics experience is designed to help you compare multiple environmental readings—such as temperature, relative humidity (RH), and illuminance—across a single sensor in a collection.

      In Analytics v.1

      1. Sign in to Conserv Cloud.
      2. In the left navigation menu, select Analytics.
      3. In the Graph Type menu, select Compare Readings.

      In Analytics v.2

      1. Sign in to Conserv Cloud.
      2. In the left navigation menu, select Analytics.
      3. In the READINGS section, select the checkboxes you need.

      Environmental Levels

      • Core Environmental Indicators: Temperature, RH, and dew point are the key metrics to monitor together, forming a "holy trinity" for understanding environmental conditions in collections. Comparing these three readings provides an in-depth analysis of potential risks to the collection.
      • Illuminance: This reading offers insights into light exposure and behavior patterns in the environment, such as detecting whether lights are left on at inappropriate times. Such information helps optimize storage and conservation efforts.

      Conserv recommends that you have an established baseline environmental levels so that you can quickly identify deviations.

      Compare Data from Different Sensors

      The Compare Sensors feature lets you analyze how different spaces respond to environmental changes by comparing data from multiple sensors.

      In Analytics v.1

      1. Sign in to Conserv Cloud.
      2. In the left navigation menu, select Analytics.
      3. In the Graph Type menu, select Compare Sensors.
        1. You can only compare one type of reading (temperature, RH, or light) across multiple sensors at a time.
        2. You can select as many sensors as needed, but for clarity, the system is designed to display a maximum of eight lines on a graph. This is considered the limit for clear data interpretation.

      In Analytics v.2

      1. Sign in to Conserv Cloud.
      2. In the left navigation menu, select Analytics.
      3. In the LOCATIONS / SPACES / SENSORS field, select all the sensors you wish to see.
      4. Click on the lines on the chart legend to temporarily show or hide the line on the graph.

      Space Correlation

      • Monitor Space Reactions: If you notice high RH in one space when it rains, you can check whether other spaces are experiencing similar conditions. This helps you identify widespread issues or isolate them to specific areas.
      • Assess Temperature Adjustments: After changing the temperature set point on your HVAC system, use the "Compare Sensors" tool to see how the adjustment impacts different spaces. This helps you understand how temperature changes ripple across the building.
      • Cross-Sensor Comparisons: You can compare readings from multiple sensors within the same space or compare your Conserv Smart Collection Sensor (SCS) with a Building Management System (BMS) device to ensure consistency or identify discrepancies.
      • Collaborating with Facilities Teams: Use this tool to compare sensors within an HVAC zone and check if they respond consistently to thermostat changes. If a sensor behaves differently, you can share the data with your facilities team to investigate any potential issues.

      By using these tools and techniques, you can gain deeper insights into how your collection’s environment responds to various changes, ultimately improving your ability to anticipate future conditions and manage your spaces more effectively.

      If you are not sure how to get started with a graph, reach out to the Conserv Team.
