Sub-Metering
Utility submetering allows building owners, strata management companies, body Corporations, shopping centres to bill tenants for individual measured utility usage. The approach makes use of individual water meters, gas meters, or electricity meters.
Submetering may also be used in conjunction with energy audits, monitoring of the electrical consumption of individual equipment within a building, such as HVAC, indoor and outdoor lighting, refrigeration, kitchen equipment and more.
Use of sub-meters are essential in identifying waste, leakage and unusual use.
In addition to the "utility" meter used by utilities to determine overall building consumption, submetering utilizes individual "submeters" that allow building and facility managers to have visibility into the energy use and performance of their equipment, creating opportunities for cost avoidance programs and capital expenditure savings.
Sub-metering is becoming more relevant in todays connected world more than ever before.
Imagine the scenario where a gated community or apartment complex may wish to invest in self-generated energy and storage technologies, while at the same time roll-out electric vehicle charging stations. This is where UtilityCap can setup sub-billing and cost allocated systems that accurately distribute the real costs and benefits to all concerned.
