BSL is the baseline for comparison to mixed air temperature. It is not a setpoint, but instead is calculated
from other temperatures to show how mixed air
temperature should behave in a system that works
correctly.
If SPSAT < OAT < RAT, the economizer should be 100%
open, and MAT should equal OAT, so BSL = OAT (9)
If SPSAT > OAT, the economizer should modulate to
maintain SAT at SPSAT , and MAT should equal SPSAT ,
so BSL = SPSAT

This means that baseline values above 6 or below 5 should not
occur during normal operation. The gray areas in the Figure 7
show where errors occur. By taking a minimum and maximum
of all baseline values, we can immediately see if the fans operated incorrectly at any time. By taking a maximum setpoint of
6 and a minimum setpoint of 5, we also can run an offset-frombaseline analysis and get an idea of how often errors occur, or
whether we are looking at very incidental user-overrides.

Many ways of modeling baselines exist, from using actually maximum trend values, or a count of peaks. If the number of
measured data of correctly running equipment, to mathematical peaks is too high within a certain time, the equipment under
modeling (as done in the previous example), to neural network examination is cycling. This method also is available in spreadanalysis.12
sheet format from the Web.13 Some trend analysis programs
have this feature built-in already.
