# Baseline analysis overview

> Compare portfolio-wide usage and savings to baseline configurations with weather-normalized models

Compare usage and savings across your portfolio against a saved <Tooltip tip="A fixed historical reference window you measure future usage against.">baseline</Tooltip> configuration. Use the **Baseline Overview** page after you define configurations on the [Configurations](/products/energ/analytics/baseline-portfolio-configurations) page. To learn how baselines and weather normalization work, see [Baselines and weather normalization](/products/energ/concepts/baselines-and-weather-normalization).

At each building, set energy, water, and waste baseline windows on [Configure building baseline windows](/products/energ/analytics/baseline-portfolio-configurations#configure-building-baseline-windows). Open **Baseline Analysis** on the [Building Energy dashboard](/products/energ/analytics/building-dashboards-energy#baseline-analysis) to review charts for one site.

## Navigate to Baseline Overview

In the [portfolio view](/products/energ/get-started/navigation#portfolio-view), expand `Baseline analysis` in the left sidebar and select `Overview`.

## Choose filters

Use the filter row to scope the comparison.

| Filter                     | Purpose                                                                                           |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Date range**             | Reporting window for actual and normalized usage                                                  |
| **Resource type**          | Commodity group: `Energy`, `Water`, or `Waste`                                                    |
| **Service type**           | Narrow within the resource type (for example, `Electric`, `Natural Gas`, or `Lighting`)           |
| **Baseline configuration** | Saved portfolio configuration such as `2024 Baseline - WN`, `2024 WN Test`, or `Default Baseline` |

When **Resource type** is `Energy`, **Service type** lists commodities such as `District Steam`, `Electric`, `Electric on Site Solar`, `Lighting`, `Natural Gas`, and `Steam`. Options change when you switch to `Water` or `Waste`.

## Analysis tab

The **Analysis** tab summarizes portfolio totals and lists each building in a sortable table.

### Summary cards

Four cards roll up usage for the selected filters: **Baseline Usage**, **Actual Usage**, **Weather Normalized Usage**, and **Expected Usage**. For what each figure means, see [how normalized comparisons read](/products/energ/concepts/baselines-and-weather-normalization#how-normalized-comparisons-read).

### Building comparison table

The table lists one row per building. Click a **Building** name to open [Building information](/products/energ/buildings/building-information) for that site. Columns cover the four usage figures, gross floor area (`GFA`), normalized energy use intensity (`NEUI`), and actual versus normal heating and cooling <Tooltip tip="Degree days measure how far outdoor temperature departs from a base temperature each day.">degree days</Tooltip>.

Use **Search** and **Filter** above the table to narrow the list. Click **Export data** to download the current view.

## Configuration Results tab

Switch to **Configuration Results** to review model training status and regression detail by building.

### Summary cards

| Card                                 | What it shows                                                                |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Buildings with Normalized Models** | Count of buildings with trained models versus buildings in the configuration |
| **Buildings with Missing Data**      | Buildings that lack required inputs                                          |
| **Buildings with Low Correlation**   | Buildings where model correlation falls below tolerance                      |

### Building detail rows

Expand a building row to see consumption, cost, weather period, and base temperatures. The service-level table shows model type, variables, `R Squared`, and the regression equation for each service type, plus a note when training needs review. For model fit thresholds, see [model accuracy thresholds](/products/energ/reference/calculations-and-parameters#model-accuracy).
