• Key Concepts: 
  Reference consumption is a feature of SAP IS-U-EDM Energy Data Management that allows users to compare their current energy consumption with a reference value. This reference value can be based on historical data, industry standards, or other criteria. The comparison helps users identify areas of potential improvement and take corrective action. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Reference consumption can be used to compare energy consumption across different time periods, locations, or other criteria. To use the feature, users must first define the reference value they want to compare against. This can be done by selecting a period of time or a specific location. Once the reference value is set, users can view their current energy consumption in comparison to the reference value. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the reference value, it is important to select a period of time or location that is relevant to the user’s current energy consumption. For example, if the user wants to compare their current energy consumption with industry standards, they should select an industry standard as their reference value.
