Variable assignment of meters and rental units
Automatic submeter reading and data verification
Tenant sub-metering and transparent accounting
Verifiable connection of measurement points, rental properties, tariffs and operational tasks.
Typical starting points01 02 03
We fix the operational question before the technology.
Manual reading and debatable correction
Periodic assignment, tariff and correction logged
Consumption of common areas that are difficult to divide
Billing and allocation preparation and consumer statements
What and where is it worth measuring?
Tenant sub-measurement without debatable tables
Correct tenant accounting does not start with the total amount of the bill. It is necessary to know which rental property a meter belonged to and during which period, how the consumption of the common area is distributed, what tariff and correction applies, as well as what happens in the event of meter replacement or missing data.
- connection between main meter, submeter and virtual measuring point
- changes in rental property, tenant and tenure
- tariff components, unit prices, taxes and billing and allocation period
- common area consumption and distribution key according to the contract
- gauge position, automatic timeline, correction and approval trail
Illustrative numerical example
The main meter of a building shows 42,000 kWh in a month, the sum of the tenants' submeters is 36,500 kWh. The difference of 5,500 kWh may include common mechanical engineering, lighting, measurement loss and time difference. The pilot does not distribute this value automatically: it first makes the components visible and then creates a verifiable billing and allocation preview with the key fixed in the contract.
The example is not an offer, a promise of savings or a general compliance requirement; the final technical solution is determined by the on-site and process survey.
Decision, audit and operational context
For all manual corrections, the original value, the new value, the reason, the time and the approver must be preserved. The consumption report and the financial receipt have different levels of responsibility: the integration can transfer the checked item to invoicing, but the contractual and tax rules must be recorded separately.
How does that make an acceptable pilot?
At the beginning of the pilot, we create a historical meter-rental relationship, because the current state is not enough to account for an earlier period. We take a full month from the raw meter reading to the verified tenant statement. A separate test case is meter exchange, missing data, moving in or out, and a manual correction. The condition of acceptance is that all totals can be traced back to the source data, tariff and distribution rule. Two consecutive recalculations should give the same result with unchanged input, and changes should leave a visible approval trail.
What does the pilot deliver?
- time-dependent meter-rental register
- tariff and allocation rule
- correction approval log
- monthly billing and allocation preview
- documented invoicing transfer
What is included in the first step?
In the first phase, the following two areas will be controlled: the relationship between the main meter, submeter and virtual measurement point and changes in the rental property, tenant and ownership period. The goal is not to connect all sites, devices and historical data at the same time. First, we verify that a reliable decision and a work process that can be closed are made from the selected data. To finalize the scope, two questions are particularly important: How does the meter-rental relationship change over time? After which step can the item be invoiced? The answers determine the device count, integration task, local data storage, roles, and acceptance test.

Measurable pilot, evidence-based next step.
Site assessment
Locations, data sources, responsible persons and success criteria.
Connection
Controlled connection of designated measurement points and systems.
Process
Dashboard, alert and at least one actionable workflow.
Evaluation
Result, list of deficiencies and quantifiable expansion proposal.
What do you get at the end of the pilot?
- Documented data source and connection map
- Working limited pilot environment
- Coordinated alert and liability process
- Measurement result and decision summary
- The basis for the technical and budget of the next phase
The first step is not a complete system introduction.
During a short technical consultation, we select the measurement or operating point at which the value of the pilot can be checked.
