Dutch term or phrase: normverbruik
Hallo

Te vinden in offerte (energieboekhouding).
Ik vertaal dit als 'standard consumption'.

Context: "Er worden momenteel reeds 500 meetpunten opgevolgd. Om een gedegen analyse te kunnen doorvoeren, moeten er naast deze meetpunten ook energiefactoren worden gedefinieerd voor onder andere NORMVERBRUIK berekeningen en grensfactoren (zoals maximum vermogen)."
"De tweede trainingsdag zal verder bestaan uit het genereren van rapporten en NORMVERBRUIKEN."

Bedankt

nominal consumption
Explanation:
The fact that the user can know the instantaneous consumption is useful in order to be able to control the correct operation of any household appliance or electric apparatus, for which purpose it suffices to make a comparative measurement of the nominal consumption indicated by the manufacturer of the household appliance or apparatus in question, with the consumption that increases upon turning on the apparatus.

reference consumption


Explanation:
This would be a valid alternative in this (vague) context IMO. The question is whether this consumption is standard/nominal for a certain appliance / measuring point or if it is some reference for this installation and circumstances. The fact that it requires calculation instructions suggests the latter.
