Benefits of Submetering

  • Cost Savings: Reduce energy costs through accurate monitoring and effective usage management.
  • Transparency: Clear, fair billing based on actual consumption.
  • Simplified Billing: Our system automates individual utility charge calculations and delivers a streamlined, accurate billing process.
  • Sustainability: Strengthen environmental stewardship by optimizing energy use.

  • Improved Infrastructure: In some cases, your project may involve upgrades to the building’s infrastructure resulting in permanent improvements that enhance overall property value.

  • Long-Term Benefit: A submetering system provides value well beyond the current year, with meters and infrastructure designed to last many years—often a decade or more.
  • Increases Property Value: Accurate, tenant-specific billing increases a property’s net operating income (NOI), which directly enhances its market value. Submetering is a functional upgrade that improves both building performance and financial results.
  • Depreciation: Since it is a capital expenditure, the cost of the submetering system must be capitalized and depreciated over its useful life, spreading the expense across several years for tax and accounting purposes.

FAQs

Utility submetering is the practice of measuring utility usage at the individual unit, tenant, or space level within a property. Submeters are installed downstream of the utility's master meter and can be used to measure water, electricity, gas, or other utilities.

A utility company typically measures total building consumption through a master meter. Submeters measure usage for individual units, tenants, or designated areas within the property. The collected data can then be used for monitoring, reporting, and utility cost allocation.

Depending on the property and system design, submeters can be installed for:
• Water
• Electricity
• Gas
Some properties may utilize one type of submeter, while others implement multiple systems.

Submetering is commonly used in:
• Condominium associations
• Apartment communities
• Mixed-use developments
• Commercial buildings
• Office complexes
• Multi-tenant properties

At a recent presentation, I asked a simple question to the room:
Who here already has an electrical submetering system that’s working well?

And then a follow-up:
Who has one that’s in place — but not working well?
