Design energy consumption information for equipment that are flagged as GAS Tracked. Record the equipment manufacturer’s energy efficiency specifications to indicate the level of energy efficiency the equipment should maintain while operating when using specific energy commodities, such as electricity, gas, etc.
You can also link equipment with a utility bill source to tie the equipment to the utility billing information/rates for the utility bill source, such as a building in which the equipment is located.
The link between the equipment and utility bill source established on the Design Consumption page is simply a link between the equipment related to energy consumption and is
not a structural link as defined in an equipment hierarchy.

Specify this information:
Utility Bill Source - Specify the utility bill source to associate with the equipment. The Utility Bill Source represents the billing structure established to calculate a daily rate for utility/energy consumption for invoice vouchers. See Defining utility bills for invoice vouchers.
If Utility Bill Level is not selected for the equipment, then a Utility Bill Source is required.
Commodity - Specify the commodity to associate with the equipment. The Commodity UOM is populated from the selected Commodity.
If a record is inserted and the Date Effective and Date Expired of the new record overlap with the Date Effective and Date Expired of another record with the same Commodity, the Date Expired of the new record is updated with the oldest Date Effective to avoid having an overlap. See Understanding effective and expiration date calculations for design consumption
Design Usage UOM - Specify the unit of measure to be used for the energy consumption design. The Design Consumption Rate UOM is populated in the format Commodity UOM/Design Usage UOM.
Default Load Factor - Specify the number to default for the maximum factor for the load ranges. This value is used as the default when specifying records on the Actual Consumption page. Range-1 Low is automatically populated.
Range-1 High - Specify the maximum load range for range 1.
Range-1 Design Consumption Rate - Specify the energy consumption rate for the equipment. This indicates the amount of the commodity that is consumed in the Design Usage UOM. For example, an equipment can be designed to use 10KW of electricity per hour.

Setting the GDRV installation parameter to FULL enables the purging and recalculating
of all energy efficiency data, including actual energy consumption records. However,
if you are updating a design consumption record, updated data on the Actual Consumption tab of the Assets, Positions, or Systems forms is not displayed. See Entering actual energy consumption information for equipment.
