Multi-Unit Buildings

Easily manage multi-tenant buildings with monitoring technology from PowerWise.

Monitoring for Multi-Unit Buildings

Buildings with multiple units offer interesting options for monitoring, namely:

• Total building electricity use
• Solar production
• Electricity use by tenant
• Heating, cooling, ventilation, and hot water
• Environmental conditions

Energy Use, Solar Production

Easily measure the energy used from a building. See the contributions from solar PV. Know when a building is net metering or drawing from the grid. Chart energy data by hour, day, and calendar month.

Measure Energy Use by Tenant

Identify if a unit is more electricity than another. See if energy use matches or exceeds expectations. Measure energy use by tenant.

Mechanical System Metering

Understand equipment health and performance by measuring their electricity use. See when equipment is running. Identify if it is working as expected or offline. The power charts show when heating, cooling, and hot water systems are running. Track their performance with monitoring technology.

Metering Circuits within a Unit

Circuit-level monitoring within a tenant space is another option. Doing so can be expensive, depending on the number of units. Some building owners monitor circuits in just a few units. The web-based energy management app allows the building owner and tenants to have separate logins and varying levels of access

Domestic Hot Water

Flow meters can measure water use by tenant or appliance. BTU meters can measure the thermal energy delivered for heating, cooling, and hot water.

Web Access for Building Owner, Tenants

The energy management system dashboard allows for multiple levels of access. The building owner and maintenance personnel can have full or varying levels of access. If desired, tenants can view dashboards for their own units.
