     ### Removed
 
+
+## v0.47.0
+### Added
+- Added inputs options and handling for ProcessHeatLoad for scaling annual or monthly fuel consumption values with reference hourly profiles, same as other loads
+### Changed
+- Updated `test/scenarios/thermal_load.json` to include **ProcessHeatLoad** in both hourly and monthly fuel load tests.
+- Refactored test sets in `test/runtests.jl` to include **ProcessHeatLoad** and ensure it is treated similarly to **DomesticHotWaterLoad** and **SpaceHeatingLoad**.
+- Modified **dvHeatingProduction** to account for **ProcessHeatLoad** with relevant addressable load fractions.
+- Updated test values and expectations to include contributions from **ProcessHeatLoad**.
+- Updated `src/core/doe_commercial_reference_building_loads.jl` to include **ProcessHeatLoad** for built-in load handling.
+- Refactored various functions to ensure **ProcessHeatLoad** is processed correctly in line with other heating loads.
+- When the URDB response `energyratestructure` has a "unit" value that is not "kWh", throw an error instead of averaging rates in each energy tier.
+- Refactored heating flow constraints to be in ./src/constraints/thermal_tech_constraints.jl instead of its previous separate locations in the storage and turbine constraints.
+### Fixed
+- Updated the PV result **lifecycle_om_cost_after_tax** to account for the third-party factor for third-party ownership analyses.
+- Convert `max_electric_load_kw` to _Float64_ before passing to function `get_chp_defaults_prime_mover_size_class`
+- Fixed a bug in which excess heat from one heating technology resulted in waste heat from another technology.
+- Modified thermal waste heat constraints for heating technologies to avoid errors in waste heat results tracking.
+
+## v0.46.2
+### Changed
+- When the URDB response `energyratestructure` has a "unit" value that is not "kWh", throw an error instead of averaging rates in each energy tier.
+- Changed default Financial **owner_tax_rate_fraction** and **offtaker_tax_rate_fraction** from 0.257 to 0.26 to align with API and user manual defaults. 
+
 ## v0.46.1
 ### Changed
 - Updated the GHP testset .json `./test/scenarios/ghp_inputs.json` to include a nominal HotThermalStorage and ColdThermalStorage system.
