Define the accountable unit
Map each meter to a tenant, unit, shared facility, common area or landlord load. Document how vacant units, changes of tenant and common charges are handled.

Energy Metering for Tenant / Rental Properties
Support transparent tenant and rental energy allocation with a measurement plan that fits the property. Define each accountable circuit, the intended reading or billing workflow, installation constraints and data handover before choosing the meter route.
Solution Highlights
Make every energy record attributable and explainable
Match the meter to the circuit
Confirm single- or three-phase, voltage, current, direct or transformer input, installation space and expected reading method for each property type.
Set the data & billing boundary
Separate internal allocation or monitoring from any regulated billing activity. Verify exact model documentation and local requirements before making a billing claim.
Project boundary:Tenant metering is not only a hardware choice. The reading, allocation and dispute-handling process must be aligned with the electrical circuit and local requirements.
Metering Architecture
Choose tenant metering by allocation rule and property circuit
Create a unit-to-circuit schedule, then select one of three operating routes: local reading, remote postpaid sub-metering or prepaid metering.
Local Reading and Manual Settlement
For projects where readings are collected at the meter or during periodic site visits. Confirm display access, reading frequency, record retention and responsibility for tenant statements or allocation review.
Remote Postpaid Sub-Metering
For projects that send verified model data through a gateway or platform for periodic allocation or settlement. Confirm the interface, data interval, platform owner, exception handling, tenant reporting and record-retention process.
Prepaid Metering Route
For projects using a keypad, CIU or another verified prepaid configuration. Confirm token or vending responsibility, customer workflow, model documentation and local requirements separately.

Tenant / Rental Buyer Checklist
Unit mapping
Prepare a schedule that maps each meter to a tenant, unit, shared facility or common area, with physical location and circuit name.
Allocation rule
Define what each record means, how common energy is handled, and who owns the review or tenant query process.
Circuit input
Confirm phase, voltage, maximum current, direct or transformer input, wiring and required installation type.
Reading process
State how records are captured, how often they are reviewed, who receives them and how exceptions are handled.
Billing boundary
Identify whether the use is internal allocation, operational monitoring or regulated billing, then check the applicable local and model-specific requirements.
Change management
Plan meter labels, move-in or move-out records, vacant-unit process, configuration history and replacement procedure.
What must be defined before tenant meter selection?
Define the accountable tenant or property unit, electrical circuit, reading process, allocation rule, installation location and intended use of the energy record.
Can one meter be used for a common area?
Yes, if the common-area circuit and allocation rule are documented. Keep the associated record distinct from individual tenant consumption.
How can tenant meter records be read?
The project may use local manual reading, a verified remote postpaid data route or a prepaid meter configuration. For each route, confirm the meter model, data or customer interface, responsible operator, reading or settlement cycle, exception process and record-retention requirement.
Is a meter automatically approved for tenant billing?
No. Billing use may require specific documentation or local approval. Verify the exact product, configuration, destination market and use case before relying on a meter for regulated billing.
