[Equest-users] Sub-Metering

[Varkie C Thomas]

Thank you Patrick.  I metered the (1) DHW and (2) Boilers on separate Fuel Meters and the (1) Chillers & Pumps, (2) Mech & Parkg Flrs, (3) Common Areas, and (4) Hotel Rooms on separate Electric Sub-Meters.  Varkie

see attached hotel1.imp file.

the file you send is in wizard mode.  creating/assigning meters is much 
easier in detailed mode.

4 meters created:

em2 = utility
pmpi = submeter for pumping
plhw = submeter for plant chillers
flrs = submeter for the different floors.

you have a master fm1 meter (fuel = gas) so the boilers/hot water 
defaults to this.

open the .inp file in notepad, you can "find" the meter definitions in 
the electric meters section (elec-meter).
just below that section is the pumps section & you'll note the chw, hw, 
and cw loop pumps are assigned to elec-meter = "PMPI"

open the .inp file w/equest (it will probably prompt you to save as a 
new project) & stay in detailed edit mode.  once in you can pick the 
airside tab & open the properties for any of the equipment and change 
the meter assignments.  may be easier in spreadsheet view.
