[Equest-users] Utility Meters and SubMeters in eQuest

[Nick Caton]

Hi Seun,

 

Hmm... I checked a previous project with sub-metering and did not find
the same discrepancy between BEPU totals and the other reports... EM1's
figures appear inclusive (not exclusive) of the sub-metered energies on
PS-B.  I could see that being unintuitive the way it's presented, and
perhaps that's the root of the issue here?

 

PS-E and PS-F take the PS-B report further - one of those should show
the sum totals for "all electric meters," broken out by energy end-use.
That would seem a good place to start, to ensure all your sub-metered
loads are being modeled and are accounted for.  I am seeing BEPU totals
that match, so if you see a mis-match it may be a sign that the
sub-meters aren't correctly assigned to the utility meter (EM1)?

Hi guys,

In an effort to break out the electric consumption for the elevators in
my building, I assigned that load to a submeter which I then assigned to
the main utility meter EM1. This seems to have worked because I can see
both meters and their respective consumptions in the PS-B report.
Additionally, the ES-D report shows me that the total electric
consumption for the building is being accounted for and billed according
to my input utility rate. This is all fine and well.

 

When I look at the BEPU report, however, it only reports the energy
consumption of the main utility meter, while ignoring the added
consumption from the submetered elevator meter. Since my elevator meter
is a submeter to the main electric meter EM1, shouldn't the BEPU report
for EM1 show the total consumption of both meters? How do I get the BEPU
report to show the total electric consumption? Thanks in advance!
