Assigning Weather Data to a Place for Cost Avoidance
Meters inherit the weather station of the immediate parent Place (building) so in order for weather adjustments to function, each place must be assigned to the appropriate weather station. With EnergyCAP Release 6.0 SP2 and later, weather stations are assigned automatically to a Place when the address information (ZIP code) is entered. However, weather stations may be added or changed manually using the procedure below.
NOTE ON CANADIAN POSTAL CODES: Input format must be LNL NLN
WHERE: L=letter and N=number. A SPACE is required between each 3-character grouping.
To assign a building (place) to an existing weather station:
- Click Setup from the Navigation Bar and select the Facilities icon. the Facility Manager will open.
- Right-click the desired Place from the Facility tree and select Properties. The Place Properties window will open.
- Click the General tab from the Place Properties window and look for the Weather: drop-down box.
- Click the Weather: drop-down arrow to reveal a list of installed weather stations for your organization.
NOTE: If there are no weather stations installed (e.g., the drop-down box is empty), you will need to complete the Setup process for weather stations (see Weather Station Setup topic).
- Click to select the weather station associated with the place. Then click OK to save your settings and exit the Place Properties window.
