• Key Concepts: 
  Interval meter is a type of energy meter used in SAP IS-U-EDM Energy Data Management. It is used to measure the amount of energy consumed in a given period of time, usually in intervals of 15 minutes. It records the amount of energy consumed in each interval and stores it in a database for later analysis. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Interval meters are typically installed in buildings or other areas where energy consumption needs to be monitored. The meter is connected to a computer system that records the data from the meter and stores it in a database. This data can then be used to analyze energy consumption patterns and identify areas where energy efficiency can be improved. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When installing an interval meter, it is important to ensure that the meter is properly calibrated and that the data is being accurately recorded. Additionally, it is important to regularly check the accuracy of the data being recorded by the meter to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Interval meters are just one type of energy meter used in SAP IS-U-EDM Energy Data Management. Other types of meters include smart meters, which measure energy consumption in real time, and demand meters, which measure peak demand for electricity or gas. Additionally, there are other types of software tools available for analyzing energy consumption data, such as SAP Energy Data Analytics.
