How to model a Utility Tariff with different schedules for energy vs Demand

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone could assist with utility tariff modeling- for a case that Energy Charges come with a different schedule compared to the Demand Charges.

My initial thought was about adding a second UtilityCost:Tariff object that could represent the demand schedule (and assign the energy schedule into the first UlityCost:Tariff object). However, this option did not work, as I have to leverage UtilityCost:Qualify, in order to be able to select between diffenent scenarios with different demand thresholds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
