Smart Metering for Multi-Unit Properties
We use energy every day for lights, cooking, heating, and cooling our homes. Americans use 18% of the world’s energy resources. Most of that energy is powered by nonrenewable resources. By implementing smart metering, property owners can do their part for energy conservation.
ABT Water Management is doing our part to conserve valuable non-renewable energy sources by converting more than 25,000 meters to smart meters since 1992. Smart meters are paving the way for environmentally conscious utility conservation by reducing the dependence on power plants. Reducing greenhouse gases produced by new and existing power plants can help reduce the effects of global warming.
A smart meter is an electronic meter that records a customer’s consumption of a utility and sends the information to the utility supplier for monitoring and billing. Most smart meters record hourly consumption and report the information daily.
A smart meter is the easiest and most economical way to measure a tenant’s utility usage. The collected data is provided to tenants through either a website or a mobile application so they can make a more informed decision on their energy usage and adjust their consumption habits in order to lower their bills.
Smart metering provides a way to record utility usage fast and accurately while removing the need for meter readers to make a home visit and eliminate estimated monthly bills.
Smart metering devices use secure wireless technology to send data from the meter to the utility provider. Customers can then log into a website or mobile phone app and view their energy usage.
