What are the benefits of Quadlogic sub-metering?
A number of studies and demonstration projects confirm both the short-term and long-term benefits of sub-metering, including: Saving energy . An analysis of sub-metered buildings (where data have been made available) conclusively illustrates that annual savings of 18- 30% of total tenant electric consumption was achieved in the first year. Savings persist over time . Sub-metering savings have proven to be maintainable over long periods of time as demonstrated in a number of studies. Some likely reasons are: (a) that conservation is reinforced by the resident’s receipt of an electric bill; and (b) residents will invest in efficiency (e.g., more efficient refrigerators and lighting) because they will reap the benefits directly. Approximately 60-70% of tenants benefit from sub-metering. The only tenants who fare worse under sub-metering than under other means of allocation electric cost are those who use excessive amounts of electricity. Those residents who find that their electric bills
