# Climate Monitoring Dashboards

The **Climate Monitoring Dashboard** is a pre-built dashboard template that allows you to monitor temperature, humidity, CO₂ and related compliance metrics across multiple devices and locations, all with just a few clicks. It is designed for use cases such as indoor air quality monitoring, storage compliance, and facility climate oversight.

***

### Create a Climate Monitoring Dashboard

Creating a climate monitoring dashboard only takes a few steps.

#### Step 1: Create a new dashboard

1. Navigate to **Dashboards** in the left-hand menu.
2. Click **Add Dashboard**.
3. Select **Climate Monitoring** as the dashboard type.
4. Click **Next**.<br>

<figure><img src="/files/egqsJNXpINRQTFZrsnEC" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This template comes with pre-configured analytics, compliance logic, and visualizations optimized for climate data.

***

#### Step 2: Configure the dashboard

1. Enter a **Dashboard Name** (for example: *Climate Monitoring Dashboard*).
2. Click **Create Dashboard**.

The dashboard will be created and shared with all workspace members by default, though you can choose to select access permissions to specific users.

***

#### Step 3: Select devices

After creation, the dashboard will prompt you to select devices.

1. Click **Select Devices**.
2. Choose devices that provide **temperature and humidity** measurements.
3. Use search, tags, or locations to filter devices if needed.
4. Click **Save Selection**.<br>

Once devices are selected, the dashboard automatically starts calculating scores and analytics.

***

### Dashboard Sections

The Climate Monitoring Dashboard is organised into several tabs, each focusing on a different aspect of climate monitoring.

***

### Overview<br>

The **Overview** tab provides a high-level summary of the climate situation across all selected devices.

It includes:

* **Global Climate Score** – Overall climate performance across all areas
* **Time-in-Range (TIR)** – Percentage of time values stayed within defined thresholds
* **Dewpoint Safety** – Condensation risk assessment
* **Mold Risk Score** – Risk evaluation for fungal growth
* **Climate score trends** over time
* **Score distribution** and **area performance comparisons**

This view is ideal for quickly identifying problem areas or general performance trends.

#### Recommendations

The **Recommendations** section automatically highlights **climate issues, risk areas, and suggested actions** based on your dashboard data.

Recommendations are generated from:

* Climate scores
* Time-in-Range (TIR) performance
* Dewpoint safety and mold risk
* Area performance
* Device connectivity

They help you quickly understand **what needs attention** and **where to act**.

#### Recommendation types

* **Critical Climate Performance**

Triggered when the **overall climate score** is critically low, indicating severe compliance issues.

**Typical actions:** Review HVAC settings, check equipment functionality.

***

* **Critical Time-in-Range (TIR) Performance**

Triggered when values rarely stay within defined thresholds.

**Typical actions:** Inspect HVAC systems, verify sensor calibration and placement.

***

* **TIR Issues in Specific Areas**

Identifies areas with poor TIR performance.

**Typical actions:** Check local HVAC, insulation, airflow, or heat sources.

***

* **Condensation Risk Detected**

Indicates potential condensation based on dewpoint analysis.

**Typical actions:** Improve air circulation, check insulation and surface temperatures.

***

* **Problem Areas Identified**

Highlights areas with consistently poor climate performance.

**Typical actions:** Focus maintenance efforts on affected areas.

***

* **Offline Devices Detected**

Shows devices that are currently not reporting data.

**Typical actions:** Check connectivity, batteries, and gateways.

***

* **Devices with Poor TIR Performance**

Lists individual devices with low Time-in-Range values.

**Typical actions:** Inspect local conditions and device placement.

***

### Climate

The **Climate** tab focuses on raw environmental measurements and distributions.

You can view:

* Average temperature and humidity
* Min–max temperature and humidity ranges
* Temperature and humidity trends over time
* Distribution charts for temperature and humidity
* Area-based climate summaries

This section helps you analyse environmental behaviour in detail and compare different areas or floors.

***

### Compliance<br>

The **Compliance** tab provides a detailed compliance analysis based on your defined thresholds.

It includes:

* Overall compliance score
* TIR compliance
* Dewpoint safety compliance
* Mold prevention compliance
* Breach counts and total breach durations
* Area-level compliance breakdown

You can also **export a compliance report** directly from this tab for auditing or documentation purposes.

***

### Events<br>

The **Events** tab lists all climate-related events and breaches.

Features include:

* Search by device, location, or description
* Filter by event type and severity
* Event summaries (breach, resolution, critical events)
* **Export events** in CSV, Excel, or PDF format

This tab is especially useful for incident tracking and historical analysis.

***

### Device List<br>

The **Device List** tab provides a device-level overview of climate performance.

For each device, you can see:

* Climate score
* Time-in-Range (TIR) score
* Mold risk score
* Current readings
* Last communication timestamp

Visual score bars make it easy to quickly identify underperforming devices.

### Climate Monitoring Dashboard Settings

The **Climate Monitoring Settings** allow you to customise how climate data is calculated, evaluated, and displayed in the dashboard.\
You can access the settings via **Dashboard → Settings**.

The settings are organised into three tabs: **General**, **Calculation**, and **Devices**.

***

#### General

The **General** tab contains basic dashboard information.

You can:

* Edit the **dashboard name**
* Select a **dashboard icon** (shown in the sidebar)
* View technical details such as:
  * Dashboard ID
  * Dashboard type
  * Dashboard URL

The **Danger Zone** at the bottom allows you to permanently delete the dashboard.

***

#### Calculation

The **Calculation** tab defines how climate scores and compliance metrics are calculated.

Here you can configure:

* **Dewpoint thresholds** (warning and alarm levels)
* **Surface temperature delta** for condensation detection
* **Mold risk settings**, including:
  * Temperature range
  * Humidity warning and alarm levels
* **Score classification thresholds** (Excellent, Good, Poor)
* **Aggregation mode** for combining device scores (e.g. Average)

A summary at the bottom shows the **weighting** of each component (TIR, Dewpoint, Mold).

***

#### Devices

The **Devices** tab controls which devices are included in climate monitoring calculations.

You can:

* View all selected devices
* See device status (online/offline)
* Add or remove devices from the dashboard
* Verify device location, tags, and serial numbers

Only devices listed here are used for:

* Climate score calculations
* Compliance analysis
* Events and recommendations

### Summary

The Climate Monitoring Dashboard allows you to:

* Create a complete climate monitoring setup in minutes
* Automatically visualize trends, scores, and compliance
* Monitor multiple devices and areas at scale
* Export reports and events for audits and documentation

It is the fastest way to turn climate sensor data into actionable insights.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.datacake.de/dashboards/global-dashboard/climate-monitoring-dashboards.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
