Electric Sub-metering
Historically, many residents in multi-unit residential and commercial buildings have had little control over their electricity costs because their buildings are “bulk-metered”. In bulk-metered buildings, one meter effectively measures all the electricity used by the building, both in individual suites and common areas.
Since there is no measurement of how much power is used in each individual suite, electricity delivery and consumption charges are often built into the rent or condo fees based on square footage. As a result, residents have no control over their costs and no incentive to save, and can easily become disconnected from their electricity usage.
Suite sub-metering puts residents in control of their own electricity costs by using a dedicated meter to measure the energy used in their suite. So rather than paying an unfair share based on a predetermined formula, residents pay only for what they use.
