Building Analytics Comparison Guide: BMS Alarms vs Fault Detection vs Fault Detection + Diagnostics

This paper examines and compares the range of tools available to operations and maintenance teams, from building automation system alarms, to fault detection, to fault detection and diagnostics (FDD), and why diagnostics are important considerations when specifying or buying analytics software. It describes how FDD provides higher fault analysis accuracy, root cause diagnosis, and the quantifiable impact of fixing issues using an air handing unit example.
