Accurate utility billing is crucial for maintaining transparency and fairness in both residential and commercial properties. While Ratio Utility Billing Systems (RUBS) are a common method, they often fall short in ensuring fair utility payments. Submetering offers a more precise alternative, ensuring that tenants are charged based on their real utility usage.
RUBS allocate utility costs among tenants based on a predetermined formula. This formula often considers factors like the square footage of each unit, the number of occupants or the number of water fixtures. This can lead to unfair utility cost allocation, as they don't account for individual utility usage. Tenants who use less water, gas or electricity end up subsidizing those who use more, leading to potential disputes and tenant dissatisfaction.
Submetering on the other hand, involves installing individual meters for each unit to track actual utility consumption. This method ensures that tenants pay for exactly what they use, promoting fairness and encouraging conservation. We will cover this further below but unlike RUBS, submetering provides precise data, which can help property managers and tenants understand and manage their utility usage more effectively.
For property managers, submetering offers several significant advantages. It greatly reduces billing disputes, as tenants are billed based on precise data, and streamlines the billing process, saving time and resources that would otherwise be spent on resolving conflicts.
Additionally, submetering can improve operational efficiencies and cost savings. Automated billing systems eliminate manual meter readings and calculations, reducing labor costs. Submetering also supports regulatory compliance, particularly in states with specific submetering regulations, ensuring that property managers avoid potential fines and legal issues.

Broadway Block is a mixed-use project in Long Beach, California, housing over 430 residential units developed by Onni. Due to the strict regulatory landscape around submetering in California, Onni required a reliable partner that could supply high quality wireless water meters as well as an easy-to-use online utility data management platform. These requirements made Truety a perfect match for this project.
Based on their needs, QMC installed Truety, our wireless water metering solution, across the entire property. Truety is unique in that it uses LoRaWAN wireless communication and utility grade brass water meters to accurately track water consumption. Hot and cold indoor wireless water meters were installed in each apartment and is in compliance with California state law. Utilizing LoRaWAN wireless water meters allowed the client to install less communication modules on site, reducing hardware and labor costs. All meters on the property communicate wirelessly to the Truety platform, allowing for easy viewing and exporting of utility data.
Our Truety system began working as soon as it was installed. A contractor left a sink running at the end of a work week, which was detected by our system immediately. Truety then sent out a notification blast which allowed the contractor to be notified, and they were able to return to the unit to turn off the water, preventing water waste and mitigating property damage. Tenants have had consistent access to verify and monitor their consumption data, making it easy for them to make proactive changes to their water usage.
Leaks in multi-family residential towers are an on going problem and the Truety solution will consistently reduce property damage and water waste. We appreciates the opportunity to continue to build on our working relationship with Onni and look forward to all future projects.
Mixed-use properties can be difficult to manage. Submetering a property that has both residential and commercial tenants can be challenging as the tenants tend to have wide utility use disparity. A single family living in an apartment or condo will consume significantly less water and electricity when compared to a brewery or a restaurant that resides in the same building.
This makes submetering vital in efficiently managing and properly allocating energy use on site. Outdated utility billing methods such as ratio based billing are unfair for tenants and can increase tenant disputes within these properties.
Installing a wireless submetering solution to your mixed-use property will have a positive impact on your tenant relationships and your bottom line, but there may be some challenges. The initial investment of purchasing the necessary water, electrical, gas or thermal meters will come at a cost, and those units will need to be combined with communications devices that transfer data to a utility data management platform. Fortunately, these costs are easily recouped through accurate tenant billing, reduced property damage and decreasing water waste through algorithmic leak detection.
Accurate billing will improve your relationship with your tenants as they will be charged for their actual usage. Some tenants will be displeased paying for their actual utility usage but, with access to real time utility data those customers will easily be able to reduce their consumption and their utility bills. This will result in a positive impact on the environment and reducing your properties overall consumption.
Submetering your property has multiple positives that outweigh any negatives, especially for property owners who are focused on the future. Submetering your property can be broken down into 3 primary advantages:
Submetering each unit for any utility allows the property owner to individually invoice each tenant for their consumption. Property managers can use this to separate utility billing and rent costs into two independent bills and contract a billing company to handle all utility billing, saving them time and stress.
Leak detection is available with robust utility data management platforms. Platforms like Truety can be set up to send an alert to the building's stakeholders as soon as irregular flow is detected within the system. This allows property managers to act quickly, mitigating potential damage to their property.
With the utility data transparency provided by a submetering system, it's easy to improve your building’s efficiency and reduce its impact on the environment. This opens the door for government grants related to sustainability and assists in following net zero guidelines.
The Truety solution supplied by QMC Metering Solutions is the best water and electricity metering solution available to the North American market. Our solution combines proven and reliable encoded readings with robust and highly accurate metering devices.

To properly understand the benefits of submetering, we must understand the difference between meters and submeters. Master meters, or mainline utility meters, are mandated by local governments to track water, electricity, gas and more. Property managers and building owners receive monthly or quarterly invoices from the utility company based on the building’s total energy use and have to make manual calculations on how to charge tenants within their building.
Slow billing cycles can lead to tenant disputes and delayed responses to damaged systems. This can contribute to higher operational costs for repairs. Further, with no access to unit specific data, building owners are forced to use a “guess-and-check” method to make meaningful improvements to their property.
Submetering is a more accurate and cost-effective method of utility management that begins with the installation of submeters at the tenant level. All energy consumption within the tenant space is monitored, allowing for fair allocation of utility use. Wireless submetering allows for better insight into energy use trends as well as accountability for both property managers and tenants.
Not all submetering systems are created equal. Our suggestion for an ideal submetering system would require several key components:
Property owners and managers can make proactive repairs and actions based on accurate data. This form of meter reporting keeps tenants accountable for their usage, lowering the average user’s utility cost, while putting pressure on tenants with higher consumption to re-evaluate their energy use habits.
Effective submetering systems require strong wireless communication. While this isn’t required, it allows property managers to remotely monitor every meter installed on their property remotely. We have found that wireless water meters are the most cost-effective option for multi-residential and distributed networks, as long as they communicate signals out accurately. Wireless water meters, such as our LoRaWAN-enabled UNICOCoders, cut down on wiring and installation costs, and have a data transmission range of over fifteen miles in best case scenarios, reducing material costs and labor.
Unfortunately, for property managers in North America, the market is plagued with low quality, inaccurate and polymer-based meters that constantly fail testing processes. Installing sub-par meters can lead to increased tenant disputes, caused by inaccurate readings and the constant need for re-verification and equipment replacement.
An ideal submetering system includes utility grade metering hardware, a robust meter data reporting platform, as well as expert commissioning services. Truety uses Swiss-made, utility grade water meters paired with LoRaWAN integrated gateways to produce the best submetering system on the market. Truety is paired with the Truety Portal, our meter data reporting platform that provides accurate reports on utility usage. Lastly, our group of expert contractors and technicians are trained to diagnose and properly commission all projects, reducing errors at the end of a project. Recoup your cost of installation, improve your property value and lower your operating costs in one compact package.
