The new EfficiencyMetricOptions would include the following fields that are currently listed under ServiceWaterHeatingEquipment:
THERMAL_EFFICIENCY
STANDBY_LOSS_FRACTION
UNIFORM_ENERGY_FACTOR
We would also like to add:

To complete the suggested change, in ServiceWaterHeatingEquipment, remove the fields:
thermal_efficiency standby_loss_fraction uniform_energy_factor
add these fields:
efficiency_metric_types
efficiency_metric_values
