Total Energy

Ability to have Total Energy for systems with multiple energy types (TH & Hybrid PH)
Impacts: Industrial systems, pre-assessment, assessment, Energy opportunities

• ability to set a unit for total energy
• fields/results for "total energy" as needed

@koay9f could you provide some guidance on the energy conversion from mass (kg, lb), volume liquid (kgal), volume gas (kscf) to common energy unit (kwh/MMBtu/J)? Thanks!

Also, should we consider using different notations to distinguish these units from standard mass and volume measurements? e.g. kg-energy, kgal-energy?

The total energy is implemented in the pre-assessment page PR 251

The remaining and related issues are split into other issues:

• Facility energy use #237 adding energy use to facility page
• unit conversion from mass/volume to standard energy #249 unit conversion from unconventional energy units
• Tie in with facility utility settings to pre-assessments #247 connect facility page utility settings with pre-assessment
• Total energy and costs in on-site visit and report pages #248 plug in total energy in on-site page and reports

If the "collection" or price unit is in mass or volume, then you need to ask users for the "Higher Heating Value". For Natural Gas we can provide this 0.001029 MMBTU/scf and do conversions for any other gas volume or energy unit.
We can also probably have a list of common materials in a dropdown for other fuels with HHV. VERIFI has all this. but for now, a field with HHV should be enough.
