Full Definition

Historical Data refers to past data collected over time that is stored for analysis, comparison, and trend identification. In building operations, historical data includes past sensor readings, energy consumption, maintenance records, and equipment performance metrics. This data enables facility managers to understand long-term trends, compare current performance to past performance, identify seasonal patterns, and make informed decisions about maintenance, upgrades, and optimization. Historical data is typically stored in databases or data lakes for extended periods to support analysis and reporting.
