What are the benefits of Submetering and allocation?
Recent studies conducted by the National Multi-Housing Council and the National Apartment Association have documented the linkage between utility conservation and separate billing for utility usage. For example, these studies indicate that individually metered apartments can experience up to 39 percent reduction in water consumption compared with mastered-metered properties that include water expenses in rent. Utility Submetering benefits the consumer, the property owner and the environment: Consumers benefit because Submetering gives them more control over their total housing costs. Consumers also benefit because they are directly responsible for their own usage, not misuse by others.Because utility Submetering and allocation results in significant reductions in utility usage, the environment benefits through water and energy resource conservation.
