There are ample opportunities to setup additional meters for energy of all types that should correspond to the actual energy data you are using.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Make a flowchart of the meters in real life and you should be able to replicate - including that real heating or cooling energy might not be metered.<br>

<div dir="ltr"> Good afternoon, Ahmad.

<div>When I need to separate consumptions from different buildings, I set up different utility meters and assign all loads for the areas in question to the new meters. The PS-F gives monthly data for each meter individually. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A couple things to be aware of:</div>
<div>If a boiler or chiller serves both residential and common, the plant cannot be split to two meters. I’ve gotten around this by setting up separate meters for the plant and then manually apportioning the plant energy to each of the separate areas based
on proportions; one example of determining might be sum of capacities of coils assigned to each area compared to sum of all coils. </div>
<div>Or, another possibility might be to set up two supply loops off the boiler or chiller - one dedicated to each portion of the building. Then the PV-A report would give you loop capacity for each loop which can be used to split the boiler or chiller consumption. </div>

</div>
<div>Good luck!<br>

<div dir="ltr">I am modeling a residential apartments building and I have the energy consumption only for the common areas of this building. I need to calibrate the eQUEST model to this common areas monthly energy consumption data so, what will be the best
solution? I am thinking about the below two solutions:</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<ul dir="ltr">
<li>Can I connect all the common areas systems (HVAC, lighting...etc) to one meter and use the data of this meter to calibrate the model to the actual energy consumption? If yes, then in which simulation report can I find the monthly readings of this meter?</li><li>The other option I can do is to not assign any HVAC, lighting...etc to the residential apartments and I only assign these systems to the common areas and then run the simulation.</li></ul>
<div><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">So, did anybody encounter this before? which option of the above is the best? Or may be you can help me with another better solution?</div>
