How to enter peak and off peak electric usage data. I have utility bills for a site on a TOU rate schedule. I have monthly peak kwh, off peak kwhr and peak demand. Where can I input this data?

Hello,
The short answer is: On the Electric Load page.
SAM determines the time and size of the monthly peak load from the hourly load data that you specify on the Electric Load page. If you do not have hourly load data, you could use the SamUL script in the sample file SamUL Download Building Load Data.zsam, which you can open from the File menu.
Best regards,

Paul.
