Hello,

I want to ask how the one-electron contribution is calculated in the report of 
the total energy after an scf calculation. I think my question amounts to 
asking: "what are the energies that are being used for the one-electron 
orbitals which when summed over with the correct occupancy give the 
one-electron contribution". My question was motivated by noticing that the band 
energies are given in eV and that summing over their values couldn't possibly 
give the sum total of the one-electron contribution that is given in Ry. (I 
checked this by integrating over the total density of states). It seems likely 
to me that the orbital energies are being referenced differently and that this 
is what causes the mismatch.

I appreciate your help and explanation of my question

Thank you for your help,
