Using the Global Meter Update for Cost Avoidance

Use the Global Meter Update option from the Cost Avoidance menu to update Cost Avoidance settings for multiple meters at once.

NOTE: Beginning with Release 6.1, EnergyCAP Users with Cost Avoidance privileges are only able to to make global changes in areas of the EnergyCAP program for which they have been granted corresponding access in User Permissions.

To use this feature:

1. Click Cost Avoidance > Global Meter Update. The Globally Update Meters window will open.
2. Input the desired meter parameter changes for any or all of the available parameters. Make sure to activate the Update checkboxes for each setting that will be globally updated.

NOTE: Cost Avoidance adjustments for weather will NOT be performed on meters that are using a  baseline greater than 12 months.

1. Click the Filter button. The Set Filter window will open.
2. Select the desired Place and Commodity filters and click OK to save the changes and exit the Set Filter window.
3. Click Update Meters to perform the Global Update.

1. When done, click Close to close the Global Update window.

NOTE: The Include Meter in Cost Avoidance checkbox must be checked in order for a meter to be included in Cost Avoidance reports, charts and calculations. The purpose of the checkbox is to enable the user to exclude certain meters from Cost Avoidance calculations if those meters are irrelevant to energy management activities. The include/exclude checkbox for meters can also be managed individually from the Cost Avoidance Manager. Just highlight/select the meter from the Cost Avoidance tree view, then check or uncheck the Include Meter in Cost Avoidance checkbox.
