Creating Equipment in PEAK
There are two ways to create equipment in PEAK.
1. Creating one Equipment at a time:
In PEAK → BACERs → Create New Equipment.
Assign the equipment Name, Levels/Zones and Equipment type + any relevant Parent Equipment/Primary Device.
2. Bulk equipment Creation:
In PEAK → BACERs → Commission Equipment
This method allows you to copy/paste equipment made in an external Google/Excel Sheet directly into PEAK.
Common Equipment
Common equipment is used when a single point needs to be shared across two or more equipment of the same type. For example a “Common Chilled Water Leaving Temperature” metadata point as seen below:
In this example, a “COMMON” Chiller equipment should be created which is shared between the chillers located in this Plantroom.
Creating Common Equipment
In Peak → BACERs → Create Equipment
Create a new equipment and add the -COMMON Suffix, Enable the “Shared” slider, and add Related equipment (The equipment which will share the common point(s)):
We are then able to assign the points to the new “Chiller-Tower-COMMON” equipment and they will be shared across all related equipment.
Uses for COMMON Equipment
Some other points which are often assigned to COMMON equipment are:
Master Cooling Call
Master Heating Call
Chiller Outside Air Humidity
Chiller Outside Air Temperature
Chilled Water Common Entering Temperature
Chilled Water Common Leaving Temperature
Chilled Water Leaving Temperature Setpoint
Chilled Water System Differential Pressure (CHWP)
Cooling Tower Common Leaving Water Temperature
Cooling Tower Common Leaving Water Temperature Setpoint
Cooling Tower Common Entering Water Temperature
Hot Water Boiler Outside Air Temperature
Hot Water Common Entering Temperature
Hot Water Common Leaving Temperature
Hot Water Leaving Temperature Setpoint
Return air duct points when a return air duct serves multiple AHUs/PACs
