[Equest-users] Metering - Steam and Chilled Water

[Brian Fountain]

Regarding the rates -- on the economics tab, you can create new rates of 
type steam and chilled water.  The billing thermal unit value is how 
many BTUs in the billing unit -- i.e. 100,000 BTUs if the billing unit 
is Therms.  The billing units label is the code from the table LV-M at 
the very top of your .sim file (e.g. 30 for Therms).  Site to source is 
essentially an exergy conversion ... see help file for a better explanation.

Hope this helps.
