Add your first building

Add a building to Radr from Sites & Assets: its name, address, country and time zone, and its floor area with where the figure came from, so intensities hold up.

Before you start

  • A workspace. See Create your Radr workspace.
  • The building’s address and, if you have it, its gross floor area and where that figure came from.

Steps

  1. Step 1: Open Sites & Assets

    In the navigation on the left, under Sites, choose Sites & Assets. A new workspace has no buildings yet.

    The Sites & Assets page with an empty building list, and Add Building and Import CSV buttons at the top.

  2. Step 2: Fill in the building form

    Choose Add Building. Enter the name and address. Country and time zone are optional; set the time zone when the building keeps a different clock from your workspace. If you enter a floor area, say in How obtained? where the figure came from.

    The Add Building form filled in for Harbourfront Office: an address, country SG, the Asia/Singapore time zone, 18,500 square metres, and How obtained set to Estimated.
    1. How obtained? appears once you type a floor area.
    2. An area marked as a placeholder makes every intensity figure from it read as not reportable.

  3. Step 3: Create it

    Choose Create. The building appears in the list, ready for its levels, systems and equipment.

    Sites & Assets after creating the building: a Building created confirmation and Harbourfront Office in the list.

What you’ll see

  • The building appears in Sites & Assets and in every building picker in Radr.
  • Every intensity figure that divides by the floor area says how the area was obtained.

Troubleshooting

Radr will not accept the floor area.
Choose where it came from in How obtained?. An area with no stated basis is refused.
There is no Add Building button.
Adding buildings needs the Admin role. Ask an Admin in your workspace.
Figures for the building use the wrong day boundary.
Edit the building and set its time zone. Without one it uses the workspace’s.

Set up levels and zones

Add a building’s levels and rooms in Sites & Assets, give each level a floor number, and place systems in them so the Levels drawing shows where everything is.

Assets

Add equipment and its data points

Add a system and its equipment to a building in Sites & Assets, then register what each machine measures, so every reading is attributed to the right machine.

Assets

Invite a colleague and choose their role

Invite colleagues to your Radr workspace by email, give each a role that sets what they may do (Admin, Manager, Analyst or Viewer), and change it later.
