Navigating the Meter Tree

Hierarchical View

In the Meter Tree you will see how meters can be represented with a hierarchy (as a tree). This is important context when understanding a sites energy data, as you cannot simply sum all of the meters to get the total energy figures. Instead you would access the root meter, the one at the top of the hierarchy (meter tree). For example a building may have two floors, each floor will have a meter and the building as a whole will have a meter. The building meter should be equal to the sum of each floor, meaning if you were to sum all three meters, you'd get double the reading.
