What is bulk metering?
In bulk-metered buildings, one meter effectively measures all the electricity used by the building, both in individual suites and common areas. Since there is no measurement of how much power is used in each individual suite, electricity delivery and consumption charges are often built into the rent or condo fees based on square footage. As a result, occupants have no control over their costs and no incentive to save, and can easily become disconnected from their electricity usage.
