Inputs Needed

  • Utility billing data in a .csv or .xlsx tabular format with one monthly entry per row, and columns that include the billing start date, billing end date, monthly total, and cost (optional)

Outputs

  • Metered utility data uploaded and available for the model calibration process

Overview

In this step, the user will locate monthly utility billing data for any applicable meters (electricity, steam, natural gas, chilled water) and upload the monthly data into the BRS. The data is used for the calibration process and for determining the cost impact of applying re-tuning measures.
