The Purdue implementation of Aveva energy management products will provide a framework for data collection, analysis, and predictive modeling of campus utility production and demand.  Information will be collected from a number of different systems, including Wade Power Plant production information, building control systems, electrical metering, and potable water consumption.  This data will be archived in the eDNA system, and will provide a ready source of information for discovering, capturing and validating energy saving measures.

A data historian, eDNA, collects and archives energy system point data and is used for historical trending, condition alerting, monitoring, and reporting of systems. MASSGROUP EBS combines collected and imported data with customer accounting, enabling services such as integrated water billing and external utility billing management.

Each product has both 'thick desktop' and 'thin web' client interfaces.  Access is controlled by Physical Facilities and is currently limited to Physical Facilities users.  These systems are administered by IT Enterprise Applications Systems Administration team.
