Using the Cumulative Sum (
CUSUM) of differences
between actual consumption and a base line, this Excel-based, easy-to-use tool allows the identification of changes in
the dependency patern and of the absolute value in time relative to a base line, for current and for historical data.
These points of patern change allow then the identification of positive or negative modifications of operation or of
systems that generated the pattern changes, and measures can be taken to
reduce the utillity costs.
The tool can also be used for targeting and forecasting the consumption as a function of future values of influential
factors, such as the energy consumption vs. future production rate, etc.
A detailed description and a
Demo file are also available on our website.
