Consumption, at a site level, is a simple way to report total consumption at this site. It is populated using a consumption tree.
For example, an Energy consumption tree can be created to show the distribution of Electricity across a site. In this example, the Quantity would be Energy and the Subject would be Electricity.
A consumable is a specific combination of subject and quantity. The only quantities that are applicable are those which are typically summed. Examples of consumables are shown in the table below:
Subject | Quantity | Consumable |
Natural Gas | Volume | Natural Gas - Volume |
Coal | Mass | Coal - Mass |
Electricity | Energy | Electrical - Energy |
