Demand ratchets on sub meters

Hello,

I am modeling two separate buildings in eQuest in one model and need to
apply an electrical coincident demand ratchet to each separately? The
coincident demand ratchet is different from the facility demand ratchet
in that the times of the coincident demand are set by the utility
whereas the facility demand ratchet is just whenever the building peaks.

I have set up and applied this coincident demand to the main electrical
meter and have set up submeters for the two buildings but don't know if
eQuest can apply this ratchet to the submeters.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe eQuest can apply different rates to different meters. Even if the rates are set up the same, call your second Rate "-2" or something, but set them up as different rates, even if they are exactly the same in content. Then apply the individual rates, with the individual ratchets, taxes, etc., to the individual meters.

It should work.

Thank you John. That seems to work.
