Configuring utility meters

Utility meters are associated with buildings in your portfolio to measure the consumption of electricity, gas, or water. Energy use that is measured by utility meters is included in the calculations of the carbon footprint of the building. You configure utility meters to ensure that the energy usage is associated with the correct building.

About this task

Meters are defined as building equipment assets with the specification type set to Utility Meter. Confirm that all information about the utility meters is accurate, including the appropriate allocations of energy use per building when one utility meter is associated with more than one building. This information must be accurate at the building level to result in accurate carbon calculations.

Procedure

  1. Click Sustainability > Set Up > General > Meters and select a utility meter.
  2. On the Maintenance tab, click the Meter Service Allocations tab and associate a building with the meter.
  3. If the utility meter is associated with more than one building, specify the percentage of the allocation of the meter.
  4. Save the record.
