Just an update for anyone interested in the process - you can add block charges under UtilityCostCharge:Block (makes sense). One more question though - how do you link the output from OpenStudio with this measure? I can't find tariffs in the OpenStudio results at all.

Thanks David. I've begun using this measure, but I'm wondering:

  1. Where the output is placed? and
  2. How to structure tiered rates? - I see the UtilityCost:Computation, but the instruction is: "Field Description: Contain a simple language that describes the steps used in the computation process similar to a programming language".

I'm just wondering if there is a recorded process for these?

Does anyone know of a tutorial for how to add utility rates to an OpenStudio model using the Xcel Energy Tariffs? I'm not sure how to use this measure other than selecting the default tariffs, and unfortunately I will need to change the rates to match the rates used on the project...
