Consumption-based billing of heating and hot water costs (VHKA)

To speed up the process of adding areas and tenants based on the consumption-based billing of heating and hot water costs, you can import an VHKA file. Not only will this create all necessary areas and tenants in Avelon, but it can also be used to calculate the shares for each tenant and write these values back to the VHKA file.

1. On the Network tab, click Edit to go into edit mode.

2. From the More menu, select VHKA ▸ Upload and Apply Changes. Select your VHKA file from your PC to upload it to the server. This will import all necessary areas, tenants and tenancies (i.e. the links between tenants and areas).

3. You can now place the areas from the Network Objects tab in the Library panel on the left onto your meter network and connect them to the appropriate meters.

4. From the More menu, select Check Configuration to run a check on the meter network. Any issues with the current configuration are displayed in the Issues tab at the bottom of the screen. Make sure to review and fix those issues before proceeding.

5. If all issues have been resolved, click on More ▸ VHKA ▸ Calculate and Download. This will calculate the shares for each tenant according to the meter network and the consumption data for the current billing period. If the calculation is successful, the shares are written into the VHKA file and the VHKA file is downloaded.
