Claim 8:
9. The method of claim 8,
wherein apportioning the outdoor unit consumption measurement to the first outdoor unit comprises:
determining a compressor run time of the first outdoor unit;
determining a compressor total frequency based on the compressor request frequencies of the activation requests received by the first outdoor unit;
calculating a consumption factor of the first outdoor unit based at least on the compressor total frequency and the compressor run time;
calculating a power proportional index for the first outdoor unit by dividing the consumption factor of the first outdoor unit by a sum of consumption factors of the one or more additional outdoor units and the consumption factor of the first outdoor unit; and
multiplying the total outdoor unit consumption measurement by the power proportional index.
