Bill point scope

The bill point scope setting defines whether a data point represents the total resource use of a building, Whole building or only a portion of it, Sub-point.

Whole building: The point represents the entire building.
Sub-bill: The point represents only a portion of the building.

Bill point scope is controlled by the Add to building totals setting. If this is the singularly enabled point of a given resource in a building the bill point scope will update to Whole building. If this is one of multiple bill points with the setting enabled, a Totaled bill point will automatically be created, with this as one of its input bill points.

The Whole building scope is used throughout the applications to identify building resource totals.

Dashboards > Portfolio-level cards: aggregate data from all Whole building scoped bill points that match the card parameters.
- Points supersede bill points: If a building has both a Whole building point and a Whole building bill point for a given point type, the point will be used in portfolio data aggregation.
Dashboards > Building-level cards: allow users to select the Whole building flag for each point type in a card, instead of selecting the specific bill point. If the Whole building scoped bill point changes in the building, the card will automatically update to reflect the change.
Energy Star Portfolio Manager > Automated reporting: allows users to select the Whole building flag for each bill point type in a card, instead of selecting the specific bill point. If the Whole building scoped bill point changes in the building, the next monthly data push will automatically update to reflect the change of bill point.

Import bill point data

To upload a CSV file with historical data for multiple bill points at once, go to Apps > Batch Bill Data Upload.
