%X <p>This guide compares emerging diagnostic software tools that aid detection and diagnosis of operational problems for large HVAC systems.  We have evaluated six tools for use with energy management control system (EMCS) or other monitoring data.  The diagnostic tools summarize relevant performance metrics, display plots for manual analysis, and perform automated diagnostic procedures. Our comparative analysis presents nine summary tables with supporting explanatory text and includes sample diagnostic screens for each tool.</p>
