Submetering Business Case: Calculating Cost-Effective Solutions
This document from the U.S. General Services Administration discusses the financial implications of using submetering as a means of energy cost management and reduction in federal facilities or commercial leased buildings.
It introduces the concept of submetering and its "value added" applications, and provides key metrics needed for making a business case for submetering efforts as part of new construction or retrofit projects, focusing at the building and system levels.
The guide offers a clear framework for evaluating the return on investment of submetering deployments, helping facility managers and building owners justify the upfront costs against long-term energy savings and operational improvements.
