How to Add Monthly Utility Bill to OS 1.9?
I would like to add a monthly electric utility charge to an OS 1.9 model. This is a $65 per month commercial electric utility charge in addition to all the dollar per kW demand charges and dollar per kWh rates. I do not see a way to do this using any of the tariff measures, or on the utility bIlls tab under the site section. Is there a way to do this? I'm thinking there might be a way under the utility bills tab, by creating an electric utility bill without any energy use or peak and entering the year total cost.
Have you done a search for
utility? There are several previous questions about incorporating utility rates to an OSM.@MatthewSteen, yes I have read through the forum and did not see how to enter a monthly customer charge into OS. There are ways to do this by modifying the measures such as how the link below describes. I would like to know if there is a way to add a monthly charge into OS without having to edit any measures.
