Quantitative monthly visual indicator to determine data availability for utility rates

A method of allocating a plurality of resources across equipment that operate to serve one or more loads of a building, the method comprising:

• receiving operational data defining at least one of planned loads to be served by the equipment or utility rates for one or more time steps within a simulation period;
• determining whether the operational data define the planned loads or the utility rates for each time step within the simulation period;
• and
• identifying, in response to a determination that the operational data do not define the planned loads or the utility rates for each time step within the simulation period, one or more time steps for which the planned loads or the utility rates are not defined and initiating an action to define the planned loads or the utility rates for the identified time steps.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving operational data defining at least one of planned loads to be served by equipment or utility rates for one or more time steps within a simulation period;
• determining whether the operational data define the planned loads or the utility rates for each time step within the simulation period;
• and
• identifying, in response to a determination that the operational data do not define the planned loads or the utility rates for each time step within the simulation period, one or more time steps for which the planned loads or the utility rates are not defined and initiating an action to define the planned loads or the utility rates for the identified time steps.
