The Consumption tab on the Location Details page shows a location's utility consumption over time. This is done using interactive graphs that display both actual and estimated consumption.
This component is located at:
Locations → select a location → Consumptions tab
Overview – What does this tab show?
The Consumption tab shows one or more graphs with consumption data for selected:
utility service types, such as electricity, gas, heating or water
units, such as kWh or m³
Main features:
interactive chart with detailed and aggregated views
support for multiple services simultaneously
adjustable date range
aggregation by day, month or year
display of estimated consumption next to actual consumption in aggregations
Actions
Users can:
adjust the date range
enable or disable service types
select frequency (all - year - month - day)
compare between periods in monthly and annual view
Export location and consumption data via the export action
Not possible from this tab:
manually enter consumption data
correct measurements
manually adjust estimates
Data sources
Consumption data is based on:
measured values from meters
calculated consumption between successive measurements
The system:
collects measurements per location
calculates consumption per period
groups data on demand by day, month or year
shows estimated future consumption in aggregations
Aggregation
In aggregation:
individual data points are merged
the sum of consumption is shown per period
values are rounded to a specified precision
Example:
month of January: sum of all daily values within that month
month of February: separate sum for that period
Comparison mode
For monthly and annual aggregation:
comparison mode can be activated
multiple periods are displayed next to each other
Problem | Solution |
No data visible | Check date range and available services |
Only estimated values visible | There is no effective measurement data yet |
Unexpected jumps in graph | Check meter changes or corrections |
Data missing for some periods | No measurements are available |
Consumption tab not visible | Check location and consumption rights |
Graph remains blank | Check for meters and measurements |
Values change over time | Measurements may have been corrected |
Rights & Access
To access the Consumption tab you need:
reading rights at locations
reading rights on consumption data
Users without these rights:
don't see the tab
do not have access to consumption information
There is no functional difference between the platform and the customer portal, only based on the assigned rights.
Why don't I see any consumption data?
There is no data for the selected date range or there are no active metered services.
Why do I see estimated values?
Aggregation shows predictions next to actual values.
Can I compare different periods?
Yes, via the comparison mode in monthly or yearly view.
Why do historical values change?
Measurement values may have been corrected or recalculated after new data.
How do I export consumption data?
Use the export action on the location details page.
What causes unexpected peaks?
Possible causes include incorrect measurements, meter changes, or data corrections.
