It looked like a cooling problem.
A thermostat was showing nearly 98°F, making it seem like the HVAC system wasn't keeping up.
The obvious conclusion? A cooling issue.
But after reviewing the building data, the real culprit was a failed temperature sensor.
This happens more often than many people realize. Equipment can appear to be failing when the actual issue is a bad sensor, incorrect reading, or faulty data point.
That's why building analytics matter.
Instead of guessing, facility teams can identify the root cause and focus on what actually needs attention.
The thermostat showed a problem. The data showed the truth.
