[Equest-users] Electrical demand and consumption

[David S Eldridge]

Demand in the graphical display is the coincident peak, so if your
HVAC system is different such that the time of the building peak load
is changes, the quantity shown for the process load might be from
different times of day in the two models.

Check that the total kWh are the same, if yes, the cause is probably a
change in the peak hour.

If kWh are different, then something changed between the two files.
