SOLUTION
Tenant Submetering
Need
Office buildings, retail parks, train stations, airports or shared commercial kitchens (otherwise known as cloud kitchens or dark kitchens) house multiple businesses. Accurately splitting bills is essential for administration of each tenancy and to attract new tenants.
What’s more, in the wake of rising energy prices, many tenant businesses are especially cautious about being overcharged for their energy. For landlords, accurate energy data is essential for accurate tenant billing. Yet the standard method of manually reading metres is time consuming and costly.
Our Solution
GridDuck offers landlords an efficient and low-cost tool for tenant billing. Our summary page and real-time data makes it easy to show where and when usage occurs. Automated reports and alerts make it easy to get the key metrics you need without spending lots of time analysing data.
Our system has appliance and circuit level monitoring, alongside a feature which allows you to review your sites by location on a map or ranked by consumption. From particular kitchen units to entire office blocks, you can get an accurate picture of tenant energy usage across all of your properties.
We also offer custom invoices, meaning our system automatically generates utility invoices for your tenants, complete with your own branding.
Case Study
National Highways are an example of a business who benefited from GridDuck when splitting energy bills.
National Highways are a government funded organisation responsible for much of Britain’s road infrastructure, drains and many large scale maintenance projects. Alongside having multiple office sites across different locations, the business also rents their office space to other commercial tenants.
By using GridDuck, the business was able to effectively split costs between these tenants, whilst also noting consumption peaks and troughs which could help them better manage building maintenance.
