Question-and-Answer Resource for the Building Energy Modeling Community

In order for the LifeCycleCost:UsePriceEscalation to work properly the Resource field must match the resource used in Output Meter Name of the UtilityCost:Tariff. For the file provided by Julien Marrec, the LifeCycleCost:UsePriceEscalation used a Resource of Electricity but the UtilityCost:Tariff used a Output Meter Name of ElectricityPurchased:Facility.
This points out a few problems to be resolved as part of EnergyPlus issue #6144 that a warning should be issued if they do not match and that the LCCusePriceEscalationDataSetXXXX.idf dataset files that come with EnergyPlus should reference ElectricityPurchased instead of just Electricity as the Resource.
