[EnergyPlus_Support] economic analysis and energy cost



I have a question concerning calculating monthly power bills using 
EnergyPlus. Ok, each month I have a certain amount of energy 
consumption in kWh for a facility. I have this facility's power bills 
and want to compare their bills to the cost per month calculated from 
the simulation in EnergyPlus. How do I input the energy charge per 
kWh, the ratchet cost, demand cost, and an ECR factor? This rate 
schedule also takes into account the peak kW in determining cost. I 
see the Economics options in idf editor but don't know where to start 
in inputting this information or knowing how to obtain results that I 
could compare with the actual facility power bills. Any help would be 
appreciated. Thanks.
