Property managers have been challenged over time to recover utility costs from their tenants. Unless the building or facility has a way of measuring each tenant’s natural gas consumption there is no incentive for tenants to conserve energy. Typically, property owners respond by increasing rents but natural gas submetering is offering a reasonable alternative.

Submetering is a metering system implemented in buildings or communities where there are multiple tenants, so the property owner or management company can bill the individual tenants for their utility usage. While submetering was originally invented in the 1920s, it didn’t become popular until the late 80s, because of increasing utility costs and environmental conservation.
