[Equest-users] Sub-Metering

[Sami, Vikram]

*         I might be wrong here, but I think what you really want to do is create a second meter (not submeter) in eQUEST. I don't think your sim file reports out submeter energy separately in your BEPS & BEPU reports.


*         When you create a second meter - make sure you add it to your corresponding rate structure.



*         Once you have a second meter - you can assign different components to it - either by default (to change the whole category) or individually.

you can sub-meter each shell.  just be careful on how many meters you apply to a model though.  25 meter limit max.  you can make more but the energy & $ applied to meters in excess of the 25 limit won't report.  typically i just create these in detailed mode by copying & pasting in from my own set of masters.  though i should note i do use the wizard to create the external lighting power meter so the schedule is already setup when i transition to detailed mode.  then i assign the external power schedules to the meters i create for external power.

look in the DOE22Vol1-Basics.pdf file you can download from the same site as equest.  page 164 has an example that won't cut & paste here properly so here's one i've used before.

em1 = master meter
em-3 & em-4 are two different buildings assigned to em1
em-3- submeters are assigned to em-3
em-4- submeters are assigned to em-4

e-tr is the tradable exterior lighting power meter
e-nt is the non-tradable exterior lighting power meter

"EM1" = ELEC-METER

   TYPE             = BUILDING
   SUB-METERS       = ( "EM-3-1", "EM-3-LTG", "EM-3-PRC" )
   ..
"EM-4" = ELEC-METER
   TYPE             = BUILDING
   SUB-METERS       = ( "EM-CORE", "EM-4-1", "EM-4-LTG", "EM-4-PRC",
         "EM-CORE-LTG", "EM-CORE-PRC" )
   ..

How do you sub-meter (electric and fuel) a System or an Equipment in Plant?  Can you sub-meter each Shell?  Which summary report gives the energy use per month by sub-meter?  Is there documentation on how to do this?
