Regarding the rates -- on the economics tab, you can create new
rates of type steam and chilled water. The billing thermal unit
value is how many BTUs in the billing unit -- i.e. 100,000 BTUs if
the billing unit is Therms. The billing units label is the code
from the table LV-M at the very top of your .sim file (e.g. 30 for
Therms). Site to source is essentially an exergy conversion ... see
help file for a better explanation.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
