Bill Point Details

Field	Description
Bill point name	The bill point's full name. Examples: - Electricity Use - Electricity Use, Floor 1 - Solar PV Production
Bill point short name	Include a shortened bill point name to be shown in place of the Bill point name on cards and visualizations (optional).
Atrius ID	The bill point's unique identifier in Atrius. It should be changed with caution, as it can affect calculated bill points.
Building	The building which your bill point is intended to represent.
Bill point scope	Bill point scope determines whether a bill point represents an entire building or only a portion of a building. Whole building: The bill point represents the entire building. Only one Whole building bill point may be specified for each point type, for each building. Sub-bill point: The bill point represents only a portion of the building.
Data type	The bill point's data type. Use this to filter the list of available point types displayed below.
Point type	The bill point's point type, which allows you to filter bill points in tables and cards in Atrius. Point type determines the available reading type and unit options displayed below.
Reading type	Reading type determines how incoming readings are processed. 'Interval consumption' provides time-based consumption delta readings (e.g., kWh or gallons).
Source unit	The unit of measure used by the bill point's source system.
Display unit	The unit of measure in which bill point data are displayed in Atrius.
Offline threshold	Offline threshold determines the duration after which a notification email will be sent about an outdated bill point. Enabled: If the bill point does not receive readings for longer than the duration specified here, then a notification will be sent and its status will change to 'Outdated' until data flow has resumed. Disabled: No notification will be sent and its status will remain 'Current', regardless of data flow. Historical: No notification will be sent and its status will be 'Historical'. Historical is used to indicate that the bill point is not expected to receive any new incoming readings.
Description (optional)	The bill point's description or other notes.

🚧 Important notes about bill point scope

You may specify only one Whole building bill point for each point type, for each building.
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.
To update bill point scope for multiple bill points at once, go to Bills on the left side menu and select the Bill Points tab. Select one or more bill points using the checkboxes on the left side of the table. Then, go to Actions > Set scope.

Formula

The formula section displays for calculated bill points only.

Field	Description
Input bill point(s)	The bill point(s) used in the calculated bill point formula, and their corresponding storage units (in parentheses).
Formula type	Select 'Advanced' to provide different formulas for cost and consumption, otherwise use 'Standard'. This should only be used in special circumstances.
Formula	Enter the formula that should be used to calculate readings for this bill point. When creating a formula, you can reference other bill points in Atrius by appending a '$' in front of the desired bill point's Atrius ID (e.g., $Atrius_ID). You can also use many of the same mathematical operators found in formulas created in spreadsheet applications, including +, -, , /, and parentheses. Examples: $billpoint_1 + $billpoint_2 $billpoint_1 0.6 + $billpoint_2 ($billpoint1 + $billpoint2)/2 - $billpoint_3
Disable unit conversions	When selected, unit conversions will not be used when consumption values are calculated across bill points.
Partial calculation	When selected, evaluation occurs when one or more of the input bill points have a reading. Otherwise, all input bill points must have a reading.

Calculated Bill Points

Field	Description
Calculated bill point(s)	The calculated bill point(s) in which this bill point is cited in a calculated bill point formula.

Integration

Field	Description
Integration	The bill point's integration type.
Provider (optional)	The bill point's provider.
Account (optional)	The bill point's account.
Utility service	Utility service determines how consumption and/or cost readings of this bill point are used in a calculated bill point.
Bill range	Bill range determines how bill points are processed. Inclusive end dates: Include the bill point end date in the daily calendarization of consumption and cost. Exclusive end dates: Do not include the bill point end date in the daily calendarization of consumption and cost.
Source currency	Source currency determines how bill point costs are inputted. Costs will be converted from the source currency to US Dollars using the conversion rate for the bill period. View and manage conversion rates in Settings > Currency Conversions.
