Why are my openstudio results showing different utility rates than my tariff measure inputs?
I have been trying to add utility rates to my model to help estimate the operational impacts of different HVAC systems. However, I have noticed that the utility rates in my openstudio results report don't seem to match what my measure inputs say at all. I am using the Tariff Selection-Flat Measure with openstudio V3.1. The most noticeable issue is the fact that I have a fairly large nat gas consumption, and have entered in utility rates for electrical, gas and water, but the nat gas portion of my utility costs in my report is $0.00.
Any and all advice in how to correctly input these utility rates would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

@stanman just to confirm, the tariff measure that you are using is the Tariff Selection-Flat measure on BCL?
Thanks for getting back to me Aaron, and my apologies for the delay. Yes, I am using the Tariff Selection - Flat measure downloaded from the BCL.
@stanman could you add images to your post to show the discrepancy in utility rate between your OpenStudio Results and measure inputs?
Also, is this discrepancy still appearing after running a new simulation with this measure? It will only make a change if you run a new simulation, adding it to the OSM and saving the OSM won't make an impact.
