# 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**.
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. Under **How to select devices**, choose one of the following options:
* **All devices**: Includes every device in the workspace that has the required sensors (**temperature and humidity**).
* **Devices matching tags**: Includes every device with the required sensors that has the tags you enter. You can match devices that have **any** or **all** of the tags. The dialog shows how many devices currently match.
* **Pick devices**: Choose the devices yourself. Use search, tags, or locations to filter the list.
Click **Save Selection** to apply your choice.
With **All devices** and **Devices matching tags**, the selection is resolved every time the dashboard loads. New devices that match are included automatically, without editing the dashboard. Each viewer only sees the devices they have access to.
To change the selection later, open the dashboard settings and click **Change Devices**.
Once devices are selected, the dashboard automatically starts calculating scores and analytics.
{% hint style="info" %}
A dashboard can include up to **500 devices**. Selections that are larger cannot be saved. Narrow a rule-based selection down with tags, or remove devices from a hand-picked selection. With more than 100 devices, the 24-hour view uses a 15-minute resolution instead of raw data.
Device selection by rule is also available for Indoor Air Quality dashboards.
{% endhint %}

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