When I add up energy terms in the Project Table from a Prime energy calculation job, the sum of the terms is not equal to the reported Prime Energy. Why is this?

Not all Prime energy terms are exposed in the Project Table. In order to get the correct terms to add up to the total Prime energy, you should go into the log file for the job and follow the instructions for adding up terms there. Look for the "NOW REPORTING THE ENERGY (KCAL/MOL):" section at the bottom of the log file, and follow the instructions in this line:

[NOTE: TOTAL ENERGY = COV_TOT + NB_TOT + OTHER - SGB_14|SGB_TOR]

to sum up terms to the total Prime energy.
