will calculate the average hourly electricity demand reduction for each energy
system (PV, Solatubes, mchp) by month to get a <b>Total average hourly
electricity demand reduction by month, TAHEDR per month</b>. This electrical
demand reduction will then be compared to the <b>Total avg. hourly Electric use
per month, TAHEU per Month</b> that the energy model indicates the Budget Building
would be using to get a percent savings in electrical demand over the budget
case. </span><span style="color: rgb(96, 191, 0);"></span></p>
