Submetering is the measurement and billing of electric use in individual apartments in a master metered building. The meters (or submeters) are owned by the building and the utility continues to read the building master meter and issue a single bill to the building. This permits the cost of electricity to be distributed to the residents in an equitable manner.

SubmeterOnline provides an educational presentation now on the Internet which includes a complete tour through the submetering implementation process. It provides a history of this energy-saving technology, as well as a look at New York buildings that have chosen to use submetering, a listing of submetering vendors and service providers and relevant information about available New York State incentives.

SubmeterOnline is now online at www.submeteronline.com.
