4.2 Track Energy Use Against A Budget Target

Once you have set a budget target, the following features are designed to help you track energy use against it.

To view month-to-date usage:

Energy

STEP 1 Press the ENERGY key.

STEP 2 The month-to-date usage chart shows energy use for each day of the current month. The top line shows you how much energy you have consumed so far this month. The second line shows if you are above or below your targeted month

to date usage. Use to scroll through the days. As you do so, the actual cost per day will appear on the display.

KEEP IN MIND:

To take advantage of the budget tracking feature, your meter must be configured to provide electricity rate information. If your meter does not support rate information, then this screen will simply show your energy usage measured by kWh. To estimate your month-to-date energy costs, you will need to multiply the kWh value shown on the product display by your kWh rate which can likely be found on your electricity bill.
