Use cases
POWER is a lookup entity referenced by BUILDING (as primaryPowerSource), SITE (as backupPowerType with multi:true), and BUILDING (as backupPowerType) to classify power sources. Values include utility grid feed, diesel generator, natural gas generator, UPS battery, solar, fuel cell, etc. Used in both primary and backup power contexts: a building might have a utility grid primary with diesel generator and UPS battery backup. The multi:true usage on SITE backup power allows declaring multiple backup sources. Simple name and description fields with flat definition structure and grid view.
