In the energy meter of the standard report electricity showed the results for "facility" and "building", the gap are pretty small. I wonder that's the differences?

Thanks

The meter details output (.mtd) file gives a description of the outputs wrapped up in each energy meter. It appears that Electric:Facility contains all electricity from internal loads and HVAC systems. Electricity:Building only contains electricity from internal loads (lights, electric equipment, etc).
