Charles, Team:
I have attached an example of stakeholder and use case scenarios
for work order management. The applicability to building automation
would be the generation of work orders related to preventive and
scheduled maintenance for building assets. The actual use cases are
not included here, just the description of stakeholder classes and Use
Case Scenarios. The use case documentation is much more extensive
and include process flows, role definitions and data element lists.
Thanks!

During our last conference call, we discussed
creating a list of use cases
and actors (users and providers). Here is a list to start the
discussion.
Glossary:
Enterprise - Corporate wide enterprise that could include multiple
buildings
in multiple locations.
Facility - A single building or campus location.
- Enterprise financial manager - Responsible for allocating costs to
the
responsible parties within the enterprise. The responsible parties could
be
buildings, departments, production lines, machines, or many other methods
of
allocating energy costs.
- Facility engineer - Responsible for managing energy consumption and
the
reduction thereof.
- Facility staff - Responsible for monitoring particular loads within
a
facility. Will need access to raw energy usage data. Is not concerned
with
dollar costs.
- Contractor - Financial services - Similar to Enterprise financial
manager
but is external to the enterprise so there are additional security
concerns.
- Contractor - Facility engineer - Similar to facility engineer but
is
external to the enterprise so there are additional security
concerns.
- Contractor - Facility staff - Similar to facility staff but is external
to
the enterprise so there are additional security concerns.
- Energy meter - Individual meter producing energy metering data. Some
of
these may produce XML out of the box, others may need a Energy
Software
System to collect the data and convert to XML.
- Energy Software System - Collects data from many Energy meters and
offers
the data up to the next level, the Energy Collection system. At
this level,
there could be some aggregation of meter data performed.
- Energy Collection System - Collects data from the Energy Software
Systems
and individual Energy meters. The data is then processed, aggregated,
and
made available to the Energy Reporting system.
- Energy Reporting System - Presents the data from the Energy
collection
system to the data users(actors at the top of the list) in a secure,
usable
format for their job function.
I hope this starts the discussion.
Thanks,
Charles Watson (Chuck) CEM CMVP

Subject: RE: [obix] SAML and oBIX
I would prefer we enumerate the use cases, then select
technologies. You
just mentioned "expose tenant functions" under obix. Have
you thought about
adding some use cases?
