Reference Guide: Computed Points Templates
Computed Points Templates Reference Documentation
This section provides full documentation for every computed point template currently made available through the Resolute platform. Each template is described in its own subsection and provides the following information:
- Computed point template name
- Description of the output point being calculated
- Equipment types to which the template can be applied
- Any additional equipment constraints in the form of equipment meta tags that must be present before the template can be applied to a given equipment type
- Any special tuple constraints stipulating the presence or absence of multiple input points
- The set of input points, including the following information for each:
- What point template must be applied to the point?
- What is the expected position of the point in the building hierarchy relative to the equipment that the template will be applied to?
- Is it mandatory or optional?
- The set of constants, including the following information for each:
- Name
- Data type
- Default value

1.1 ZoneTempDev - Zone Temperature Deviation
Summary
Calculates the Zone Temperature Deviation based on the difference between the Zone Temperature and the Supplied Setpoint. If the "ZoneTempSp" is supplied, the value represents temperature deviation above or below the temperature dead band divided by 2.

Description |
| Occupied Value |
Numeric |
1 |
This number represents the value that indicates that the area is occupied. |
| Unoccupied Value |
Numeric |
0 |
This number represents the value that indicates that the area is not occupied. |
| Standby Value |
Numeric |
2 |
This number represents the value that indicates the occupancy sensor is in standby mode. |
| Heating Mode Value |
Numeric |
1 |
This number represents the value that indicates the piece of equipment is in heating mode. |
| Cooling Mode Value |
Numeric |
3 |
This number represents the value that indicates the piece of equipment is in cooling mode. |
| Temperature Deadband |
Numeric |
