Valid energy prices for the media electricity, gas, water and heat are stored in the contract editor. These are then used to calculate the costs and CO₂ emissions in the various displays of the GridVis Cloud.
The energy prices and CO₂ emissions can be displayed using the corresponding button in the Settings.
Basic principle of the contract editor
The GridVis Cloud offers you the possibility to store the conditions of your energy supplier to get a quick and easy overview of your costs and CO₂ emissions.
As a rule, the negotiated conditions apply to a location and therefore also for all buildings, systems, etc. located there. This is why the GridVis Cloud uses the principle of inheritance for the contract conditions. This means that you only need to create the contract conditions at one node, but the conditions also apply to the nodes below it.
If the conditions for individual buildings, systems, etc. need to be different due to a separate tariff, you can store these conditions at the corresponding node. They then have priority over the conditions of the location.
Note
Note the hierarchy totals!
The functionality of the hierarchy total is described in the chapter Using the hierarchy editor. This also affects the calculated costs and CO₂ emissions. If the selected hierarchy node has its own contract conditions, but no measurement device is assigned to this node, the measured data and calculated values of the subnodes are displayed here as a total. The contract conditions of the selected hierarchy node are not applied.
If a measurement device is now assigned to the selected hierarchy node, the stored contract conditions are also taken into account. The total of the calculated costs and CO₂ emissions of the subnodes is then no longer displayed, because a more accurate value is available in the selected hierarchy node.
