    so if you manually change the .csv file to match the .sim file, do
    the rainbow reports reflect the data properly?<br>

      <div dir="ltr">Hi Nick & Patrick---I've checked the csv file

        feeds the eQuest reports (not the .sim output file) & the
        csv file only picks up on the initial utility meters (i.e.
        EM1/FM1) and therefore the additional energy use/meters are not
        included or reported to the eQuest output reports (which I refer
        to as the Rainbow reports for utility usage and demand.)
        <div>
          <br>
        </div>
        <div>Therefore based on this finding/confirmation---it is
          imperative that I feed my client results directly from the
          DOE-2 .sim file output reports (ie BEPU/BEPS; PS-E) reports to
          offer the correct energy model output results.   At this level
          of the model file when there are additional meter or energy
          production/consumption the standard eQuest output results
          reports/graphs do not translate the actual model results.</div>
