On a busy commercial or industrial site, the main utility meter only tells part of the story. It shows total energy use — but not how, where, or why that energy is being consumed. In reality, each tenant, zone, or system may be drawing vastly different amounts of power, often without anyone knowing.
At Elcomponent, we help you uncover what’s really happening behind the scenes with intelligent sub metering systems. Because smarter decisions come from clearer insight.
When the Main Meter Isn’t Enough
Consider this common scenario: your monthly electricity bill looks high, but your site appears to be running as normal. Without deeper data, it’s hard to answer questions like:
• Which tenant is using the most energy?
• Are shared areas being overcharged or under-accounted for?
• Is HVAC or lighting running when it shouldn’t be?
• How do different buildings or departments compare?
That’s where sub-metering proves invaluable. It allows you to break down energy usage by load, location, or responsibility — so you can stop guessing and start managing.
See Every Circuit Clearly
Sub-metering gives you a detailed view of your site’s consumption, including:
• Tenant-specific loads in multi-let buildings
• HVAC, lighting, and plant systems
• EV chargers, kitchen equipment, IT suites
• Remote or infrequently accessed areas like car parks or outbuildings
Whether you’re recharging tenants, monitoring energy use for compliance, or planning efficiency upgrades, we design and install tailored metering systems that give you the data you actually need — in real time.
Designed for Mixed-Use, Multi-Tenant and Complex Sites
At Elcomponent, we’ve deployed sub-metering systems across offices, universities, hospitals, shopping centres, and manufacturing sites. Many of these are mixed-use environments, where shared infrastructure and different usage patterns make billing and benchmarking a challenge.
Our solutions help you:
• Recharge tenants fairly and accurately
• Track abnormal usage spikes
• Identify underperforming systems
• Plan targeted upgrades for high-consumption areas
And because we use open, non-proprietary systems, your data remains fully accessible — whether you use our MW2 platform or integrate with your own software.
One System, Smarter Site Management
Whether you need to track one zone or a hundred, Elcomponent’s sub-metering approach is built to scale. We combine:
• Site-specific design
• Professional installation
• Expert commissioning
• Full system support
So you’re not just collecting data — you’re gaining insight you can trust
Energy Doesn’t Have to Be a Mystery
If you’re working with multiple tenants, unpredictable site loads, or hidden inefficiencies, we can help. With Elcomponent, you’ll finally see where your energy is going — and how to take back control.
