The "Thermal demand / energy rate tags?" topic has produced a good meter discussion.
I realize that there is not a 100% consensus yet, but from the direction of the comments, I am wondering if the existing "discharge air flow sensor" would be converted to a
discharge air meter
and whether this would naturally lead into a
compressed air meter

Good question Denis but I'm not sure that the conversion your suggesting works.
The meter tag denotes a piece an equipment type rather than the sensor point you refer to. So if we were to recycle the meter tag at the point level it would get confusing and mean that the meter tag has two meanings.
In the other thread you refer to there was a good comment about each tag taking on an individual engineering concept, and I think that's a good rule of thumb to follow for our future development of the tagging models.
In this way we can continue to ensure that the semantic meaning of the tags doesn't become ambiguous.
