<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>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?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>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)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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! <o:p></o:p></p>
