The Holiday Group Editor allows you to manage holiday groups. Holiday groups contain a collection of pre-defined days which a utility company observes. Within EnergyCAP Enterprise, time of use definitions "read" the information stored in a holiday group and use that information to break meter data into the appropriate time of use categories.
For example: Vendor XYZ defines on peak usage as usage occurring between the hours of noon and 4 PM on weekdays unless the particular weekday is a holiday, and all other usage is classified as off peak usage. Vendor XYZ would then list the holidays which it observes. The holidays defined by Vendor XYZ would be entered into a holiday group, allowing EnergyCAP Enterprise to properly place all usage recorded for a holiday into the off peak period.
