What is Electric Submetering?

Definition

Electric submetering is the process of using electric meters to determine how much electricity a tenant is consuming. Electric submetering is used for tenant metering to ensure that tenants are billed fairly based on their energy consumption instead of an estimated cost from square footage or any other methods.

Why it Matters

Electric submetering allows for more accurate energy monitoring and makes it easier to make decisions that can help optimize energy performance. Electric submetering can also ensure that tenants are being fairly billed for their consumption instead of the utilities being split in some other way.
