Submetering is the most equitable method of
charging tenants for the electricity, water, gas or any other type of utility they
use in master-metered buildings. Submetering benefits both building owners and tenants.

For Building Owners...
|
- Encourages conservation by tenants
- Provides opportunities to take advantage of more favorable rates that may be present
- Allows rate increases to be passed on immediately
- Maximizes cost control and improves cash flow
- Increases property value and income
|
|
For Tenants...
|
- Immediate savings from conservation
- Pay only for electricity, water, gas, or any other type of utility consumed
- Confidence in fair and equitable allocation of utility costs
- Eliminates disputes over utility-use surveys
- Submetering heightens profitability, increases property values and builds tenant
goodwill.
- Submetering also costs less than providing space for the utility's meters
