Submetering Systems
Property management for a multi-family property, such as a condominium or apartment building, requires an efficient utility billing system. With the right solution in place, not only will you be able to manage utility allocation effectively, but you will also lower costs and gain another option in energy conservation.

Apartments, condos, commercial offices, stores, mobile parks, military housing, college dorms, and retirement homes all share one thing in common: community utility billing. However, not every multi-tenant property handles utility billing in the same way. While some communities have one master meter and bill tenant’s utilities based on a Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS), others install meters on individual units and bill tenants for their actual water and energy usage. Regardless of how you prefer to recapture this important monthly cost, Commercial Water & Energy can help you determine a utility expense management solution that works for your property.
