Meter readings are essential for understanding the energy consumption of resources replicated from the business system.
When meters are not installed or if one meter is connected to multiple energy sources because of which you are unable to take a direct reading of energy consumptions, you can use planned energy consumption rates to calculate actual carbon emissions consumed by the replicated resources.
You can use the Manage Planned Energy Consumption Rates application to add planned energy consumption rates.
In this lesson, you focus on steps 3 and 4 of the overall process flow.
Configure Energy Sources and Energy Carrier
To calculate the actual emissions, you must create Energy Sources that include the actual emission factors.
Manage Planned Consumption Rates
The video shows how the planned energy consumption rates are used to calculate energy consumption.
In the next lesson, you will see how to manage customer footprint calculation.
