Time Series Data
A sequence of data points collected over time, such as temperature readings or energy consumption values.
Full Definition
Time Series Data is a sequence of data points collected over time, typically at regular intervals. In building operations, time series data includes sensor readings (temperature, humidity, pressure), energy consumption, equipment runtime, and occupancy counts. This data enables trend analysis, pattern recognition, predictive maintenance, and performance benchmarking. Time series data is essential for understanding building behavior, optimizing operations, identifying anomalies or inefficiencies, and making data-driven decisions about maintenance and improvements.
