The energy use does not correspond to the ERI simulations. The energy use is the standard BEopt operational calculation regardless of whether you requested ERI asset calculations as well. It is not possible to view the energy use associated with the ERI Rated/Reference Homes.
For example, if you create two BEopt designs that only differ in terms of thermostat setpoints, the energy/electricity use will vary accordingly but the ERI results will be identical between the two because they both use the standardized ANSI 301 assumptions.
