Adding loads and supplies and assigning energy usage types

Add loads and supplies to your organization model in Energy Hub and assign energy usage types to categorize them.

Adding loads and supplies in Energy Hub means associating the monitoring devices that are monitoring the loads and supplies with the locations in the organization model where these loads and supplies are located. For example, associating a device that is monitoring the lighting loads for floor 1 in your facility with the floor 1 location in the organization model.

To add a load or supply and assign an energy usage type:

  1. In Energy Hub, go to Setup > System setup.
  2. In the organization model in the configuration panel, find the site that you want to add the load or supply to and select Configure site. The Configure site screen displays.
  3. In Configure site, in the Energy view, under Add loads and supplies, find the device that monitors the load or supply that you want to add.
  4. If the device has the correct energy usage type assigned to it, drag the device onto the relevant location in the organization model to add it to this location.

    TIP: To add multiple devices to the same location, use Shift+click or Ctrl+click to select the devices in the list.

    If the device does not have an energy usage type assigned to it, or if the assigned usage type is incorrect, then:

    1. Drag the device and hold it over the relevant location in the organization model. The Assign energy usage type dialog displays, showing a list of recently selected usage types..
    2. Drop the device on the desired usage type in the list. If you do not see the correct usage type in the list, or the list is empty, drop the device on the Assign a different usage type button. The Assign energy usage type dialog displays.
    3. In Assign energy usage type, find and select the usage type you want, and select Assign.
