Creating a Project

Projects are the top-level container for all your building data in Novant. Each project represents a single building or site and contains its own zones, spaces, assets, sources, and trend data. Projects are created at the organization level and count toward your plan’s point capacity.

Before You Start

Before creating a project, review:

• Project Checklist — make sure you have the information you need
• Sizing Your Project — estimate how many points you’ll need

Steps

1. From the top navigation, click your user avatar and select your organization name.
2. You’ll land on the Organization Projects page, which lists all projects and shows your available point capacity
3. Click the Create Project button
4. Fill in the project details:
   • Project Name — a descriptive name for the building or site
   • City — search for and select the project’s city (used for time zone and weather data)
   • Capacity — the maximum number of points this project can use (draws from your organization’s available pool)
5. Click Create

Once created, the project appears in your organization’s project list. Click the project name to enter it and start configuring — see Project Home for what you’ll find inside.

Notes

• Only organization members with the appropriate role can create projects. See Organizations for details on roles and permissions.
• Project capacity can be adjusted later from Project Settings using the Resize button under Usage and Limits.
• The city you select determines the project’s time zone and local weather display.
