Course description

SkySpark Engineer is the perfect course for engineers and facilities managers who need to start using and understanding SkySpark.

Build out your first SkySpark Project as we look into the underlying data structures within this analytics platform.

Learn how to create and tag records, using Project Haystack v4.0 standards. Understand how to bind points through adding and tuning connector records. Create and practise Axon filter expressions to retrieve stored data, using our bespoke Axon Command Console.

Understand more about historical data, computed histories, writing to setpoints, and converting values. Set up historical rules and assign Spark costs, along with how to use the new current rule type.

No SkySpark installation, licence, or HVAC knowledge required.

Some short video clips to highlight course features.

Thanks Scott! Learning SkySpark for the first time can indeed by tricky and often overwhelming - which is why we've produced modular courses to help break down relevant content and make it all easier to apply.
