How to apply PV generated electricity to one of multiple electricity tariffs?    
   Hi community, I have a mixed use building and want to apply a commercial tariff and residential tariff. I do this by using meter:Custom for the residential zones, and then a meter:CustomDecrement for the commercial zones. The source meter for meter:CustomDecrement is the issue. I can not use ElectricityNet:Facility as the source and then decrement the residential meter because the output variables of the residential meter are not part of the source meter roll up. ElectricityNet:facility is a computed meter.
So, how can I create a meter for the commercial tariff that is offset by the onsite solar generated energy, while the residential meters are not affected by the PV generation?


 
  
 

Have you checked out this example? Can you create a new custom meter duplicates the ElectricityNet:facility and then use it as the source meter for the meter:CustomDecrement: https://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/doc...
This example shows how to use the meters and decrement from custom meters. Yes, I know how to do this. I think the problem is that the ElectricityNet:facility is a computed meter. When I check the contents of this meter in the .mtd file it shows:
For Meter=ElectricityNet:Facility [J], ResourceType=ElectricityNet, contents are: Whole Building:Facility Net Purchased Electricity Energy
So, what is on Whole Building:Facility Net Purchased Electricity Energy meter? Nothing is shown. I think this is an output variable not a meter.
