Submetering
Submetering is the process of installing extra meters in a building or facility to monitor the energy use of specific areas, equipment, machinery, departments, or tenants independently of the main utility meter. This allows for more thorough monitoring and analysis of energy consumption, which provides insightful data for analysis and the optimization of energy efficiency.
Benefits of submetering:
- Energy Management and Savings: Access to accurate data on energy usage within a building or facility enables better monitoring and management of energy consumption and can help reduce energy expenses. In some situations, submetering can lead to energy savings of 20% or more.
- Cost distribution: Streamline the process of allocating energy costs and promoting accountability among departments. Departments can monitor their own energy usage, which motivates them to use energy more carefully.
- Accurate Billing: Ensure that each entity is billed based on their actual energy usage, rather than a flat rate or estimated consumption.
- Reduce Environmental Impact: By Monitoring energy usage, you can make informed choices that lead to reduced environmental impact.
