15+
* How can ESPI report Aggregated Data
16+
* Aggregated Data is summarized or combined data from multiple sources.
17+
* Typically used to provide a high-level overview or summary of data trends.
18+
* Collected from multiple sources and combined into a single dataset.
19+
* Households, businesses, or other entities
20+
* The ESPI UsagePoint isVirtual element can be used to indicate the UsagePoint is a virtual point
21+
* If true, indicates no physical meter is associated with the UsagePoint
22+
* Allows a UsagePoint to be defined as an aggregation of usage for multiple physical meters

* [Don] Opened the meeting and welcomed attendees. Noted missed meeting last month.
39+
* [Attendees] Introductions made by Dee Hastey, Walt Hillis, Gary Cook, Valdis Hellevik, and others.
40+
* [Don] Discussed changes to Function Block 58 to validate absolute HTTPS URLs in UsagePoint entries and how this ensures data integrity.
41+
* [Don] Provided clarification that ESPI already supports aggregated data using `roleFlags` and `isVirtual` fields.
42+
* [Gary] Shared that Jotson is not pursuing aggregated data but noted interest in how it may be useful to others.
43+
* [Claire] Highlighted importance of tariff data and mapping from usage points to premises for cost modeling and benchmarking, referencing Con Edison’s approach.
44+
* [Discussion] Focused on privacy implications, valid schema usage, and need for clearer guidance and examples in the standard.
45+
* [Don] Mentioned plans to publish technical articles to address misunderstandings about the standard’s capabilities.

1. **UsagePoint** - Defines the service category (electricity, gas, etc.)
203+
2. **ReadingType** - Specifies how energy is measured (commodity, measurement kind, unit, etc.)
204+
3. **MeterReading** - Contains the actual readings
205+
4. **IntervalBlock** - Contains time-series data of readings
