Tenant Billing

Tenant Metering

The Openxpress Tenant Billing software allows organisations to apportion utility costs such as in non-submetered commercial and residential buildings, for instance, tenants are typically billed on square footage of rented space. In this scenario, the landlord receives an electrical bill for the entire facility and bills each tenant based on the amount of space they rent.  The problem here is that tenants are not billed based on power consumption behavior, but rather they are billed based on the total consumption of the rest of the tenants. Because tenants realize that they are not billed based on individual consumption, there is no incentive to reduce consumption. The expectation is that if nobody else changes their behavior then each tenant will still pay the same amount.  Tenant submetering changes behavior because everyone becomes accountable for their own consumption behavior. Studies have shown that monitoring energy consumption by the end users monitor their energy consumption they may reduce between 10 – 20% of their energy.   The design of the utility bill can be customised to the organisation’s requirements, so as to remain in line with corporate guidelines, and can be produced as a pdf, and if required automatically emailed to the relevant energy user customers
