[Equest-users] 2 Different Rates

[Luke McGuire]

I'm assuming that you're asking if it's possible to use multiple utility rates for the same fuel type within a model.  If so, the answer is yes.

In order to do so you'll have to follow a few steps.  For all of these steps I'm going to assume that you're creating a separate electric meter although the steps would be the same for any other fuel meter.


1.       Create a second electric meter (Utility & Economics > Electric Meters > Create Electric Meter...).

2.       Assign the meter to the appropriate end-uses in all zones which will be using the secondary utility rate (Air-Side HVAC > Thermal Zone > Meters).

3.       Create two utility rates (Utility & Economics > Utility Rates > Create Utility Rate...) and assign the each meter to the appropriate utility rate.

Hopefully that helps.

Hi all, I need to know if you can model on eQuest with two different rates? If it's possible please explain how to do it thanks.
