Scaling in objective definition in JEPLUS+EA

I am trying to set up an optimization run with JEPLUS+EA using RVX. However, I do not understand what the option scaling means in the objective definition. I have read it several time in the JEPLUS help but cannot get a clue. Maybe because I am not a programmer. Can anyone explain it in simple words or using an example? Thanks a lot.

I attach the code from the example file. Why is scaling true for the first objetive but not for the second?

"objectives" : [
    {
        "identifier" : "t1",
        "formula" : "v0/1000/3600",
        "caption" : "Electricity [kWh]",
        "scaling" : true,
        "min" : 0,
        "max" : 100000,
        "weight" : 1.0
    },
    {
        "identifier" : "t2",
        "formula" : "v2",
        "caption" : "Construction Cost [$/m2]",
        "scaling" : false,
        "min" : 0,
        "max" : 1000,
        "weight" : 1.0
    }
