This release introduces major improvements to the TOU/TOD analytics engine, dashboard access control, recalculation workflows, and AI-driven energy analysis capabilities to improve operational visibility, calculation consistency, and platform intelligence.

Release Highlights

• Introduced TOU/TOD AI Analysis & Recommendation Engine to provide intelligent energy usage insights, anomaly detection, and optimization recommendations based on TOU consumption trends.

• Added dashboard access control based on assigned teams:

• Dashboards assigned to a team are now visible only to members of that team.
• Workspace admins continue to have visibility across all dashboards.

• Improved dashboard access fallback behavior:

• If a user does not have access to the configured default dashboard, the system will now automatically display the first accessible dashboard sorted by creation time.

• Updated TOU/TOD calculation frequency:

TOU/TOD Enhancements

• Added validation to ensure TOU slot coverage spans a complete 24-hour cycle before calculations are performed.

• Added warning indicators for incomplete TOU season coverage to help identify potential missing calculations.

• Implemented TOU/TOD recalculation support for configurable time periods (including Month-to-Date and rolling date ranges).

• Optimized TOU summary widgets to use stored calculation variables instead of live recomputation for improved consistency and performance.

Important Note on TOU Data Accuracy

To ensure accurate Time-of-Use (TOU) analysis and cost computation, energy data (kVAh/kWh) should be recorded and transmitted at a consistent interval of 5 minutes.

Inconsistent data intervals, delayed ingestion, or missing readings may impact TOU analytics, billing calculations, and related operational insights.
