As electricity prices fluctuate and requirements for energy efficiency and reporting become stricter, accurate allocation of consumption and costs is more important than ever. Many tenants now expect to pay for their actual energy usage and no longer accept outdated methods like area-based ratios or manual calculations.

To meet these expectations, you must ensure that your building’s energy measurements and data are precise.

With reliable sub-metering, you can:

• Attract sustainability-concious tenants

• Automate invoicing

• Support tenants’ CSRD compliance reporting

• Minimize the risk of incorrect billing

Step 1: Get the right data

To gain control over energy consumption in different parts of a building, sub-meters are essential. However, many buildings lack this infrastructure today, and where it does exist, it is often riddled with errors.

We’ve seen cases where Tenant A has been paying Tenant B’s bill for years, or where part of Tenant C’s consumption is incorrectly charged to Tenant D. These inaccuracies can lead to financial disputes and inefficiencies.

We can assist you in mapping your existing infrastructure and installing new meters for electricity, thermal energy, and water consumption where needed. The meters we use can be easily installed with minimal physical intervention, ensuring accurate data and fair cost distribution.

We take responsibility for setting up and verifying the building’s sub-meters, ensuring a reliable data foundation. This enables fair cost allocation, the elimination of inaccuracies, and tenant compliance with future reporting requirements.

Ensure data accuracy

Errors in energy data are unfortunately common. They often stem from installation and configuration mistakes, but over time, other factors can degrade data quality or create completely misleading results. You can read more about the most common sources of errors here.

With inaccurate data, you risk overbilling – or underbilling – tenants. If undetected, this can be both costly and damage your reputation.

Installation errors can be avoided through thorough verification and quality control. However, errors that develop over time – such as those caused by maintenance neglect, faulty wiring, or network disruptions – require continuous data monitoring to detect.

As your data provider, we take responsibility for monitoring your data flow. While we can’t eliminate all errors, our systems and processes make it easier to detect and correct issues as they arise—ensuring a more accurate and reliable data foundation.
