Emergent Tenant Metering and Billing Services

Tenant Metering and Billing Services

Tenant metering and billing services involve measuring and allocating utility consumption—such as electricity, gas, water, and compressed air—among multiple tenants in a commercial, industrial, or residential building. These services ensure fair and accurate billing based on actual usage, helping property owners recover utility costs efficiently while promoting energy efficiency among tenants. 

We leverage our engineering capabilities and our understanding of energy transfer to develop an energy metering scope of work that ensures proper energy allocation among a site's tenants. 

Key Components of Tenant Metering and Billing Services

1. Fair Energy Submetering Systems

• Electricity Submetering – Tracks power consumption for individual tenants or departments. A sites overall energy use is tracked and monitored through our metering platform. Providing us with the ability to have continuous energy usage metrics for our customer's facilities. 
• Water and Gas Submetering – Measures usage for accurate allocation and conservation efforts. Similar to electrical energy use, water and gas service is monitored while sub-circuits are  sub-metered to provide proper usage and cost allocation. 
• Compressed Air and Steam Metering – Essential in industrial settings where utilities like compressed air and steam contribute to operational costs, these systems will be monitored through proper system metering. Conversion efficiency will be tracked as Energy In vs. Energy Out to the end use points. 
• Central Chilled and Heating Loop - Essential central heating and cooling comfort and process loops are monitored and tracked continuously to provide details on demand for heating and cooling energy. 

2. Data Collection and Monitoring

• Real-time data is gathered from meters using IoT-based monitoring systems or automated meter reading (AMR) technologies that we will install at your facility. Our team will design and implement a customized energy monitoring solution with the specific intent to segregate and assign energy usage. 
• Cloud-based dashboards provide insights into energy consumption patterns, peak demand periods, and potential inefficiencies. 

3. Utility Cost Allocation

• Costs are assigned based on actual usage rather than estimated or shared expenses.
• Multi-tiered rate structures can be implemented based on peak vs. off-peak consumption.

4. Billing and Reporting

• Automatic invoicing based on usage data ensures transparent and dispute-free billing.
• Detailed consumption reports help tenants understand their energy footprint and identify ways to reduce costs.
• Monthly and quarterly energy, water, and sewer bills for an industrial complex or facility.
