METERCONNEX – TURN METER DATA INTO ACTIONABLE REPORTS, BILLS OR ANALYTICS, EASILY

 

MeterConnex solves the problem of how to get meter readings out of the meter and into a meaningful format for analysis. MeterConnex combines automated, daily meter interrogation with a web-based interface and is geared specifically toward energy consumers, building operators, property managers, and LEED consultants. With MeterConnex, regardless of the type of meter, data will always be in an easy to interpret format, without the need to install any meter specific software. MeterConnex combines our own in-house created software which manages the meter data, as well as an easy to use a web-based interface for reporting. The ability to create, view and download reports relevant to your operation make MeterConnex a top choice for building owners and managers.

Many manufacturers have their own software for reading their meters, but if you are running multiple different metering systems, you will have to manage all these pieces of software individually. MeterConnex can handle the meter reading of all types of meters and provides the data over a simple web portal. MeterConnex can handle hundreds or even thousands of meters, making it scalable for all types of buildings. MeterConnex is flexible, cost effective and delivers the data you need to manage your building’s utilities effectively.

 

MANAGED METER SERVICE – BETTER ENERGY AND WATER MANAGEMENT FOR MULTI-RESIDENTIAL, MIXED-USE AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

 

Apex Innovation’s Managed Meter Service is an intelligent turn-key submetering solution for property owners and developers. From project conception to completion and the ongoing management of utility services, this ‘complete package’ solution is an easy and cost-effective way to deploy and finance a metering system. Managed Meter Service includes MeterConnex, a web-based reading and reporting data collection service. Because it is meter-agnostic, we can use the best meter for your building, no matter the manufacturer. MeterConnex retrieves meter data and provides a consistent easy-to-read format for reporting purposes. The ability to create, view and download reports relevant to your operation make MeterConnex a top choice for building owners and managers. Secure, on-line access to data and reports is available to property managers, accountants, building operators, consultants, and occupants.

Managed Meter Service promotes utility conservation; when building managers and occupants can see their utility usage data directly, goals like energy and water conservation and the ability to meet LEED/Green Star and other building performance.

TENANT BILLING

 

Sub-metering plays a significant role in helping achieve sustainability goals through better utility usage information and reporting, through to tenant engagement.

 

PAY-FOR-USE BILLING

 

Sub-metering enables a property to individually charge each tenant for their specific energy & water consumption and costs. As opposed to flat rate cost distribution, such as a square meter rate, pay-for-use billing charges each tenant fairly. Tenants pay only for what they use, so low energy/water consumers are not subsidising the energy/water costs of high energy/water users within the property.

 

ENERGY & WATER CONSERVATION

 

Pay-for-use billing charges tenants for their actual consumption. As their consumption habits now impact them directly, tenants have a clear monetary incentive to save water & energy. Pay-for-use systems are proven to result in a decrease in water & energy consumption, thereby saving them costs. This also decreases energy consumption and therefore GHG emissions from power plants, boilers, etc. Understanding their consumption patterns also gives commercial and residential energy users the knowledge necessary to implement green initiatives in their homes or businesses. Metering can show which loads are using excessive energy and how improving these loads can decrease this consumption.

We look forward to assisting you with your metering project.
