Commercial Properties
Commercial properties face unique challenges in managing water resources efficiently while keeping operational costs low and tenants satisfied. From maintaining infrastructure to meeting sustainability goals and ensuring accurate billing, these tasks can be complex. However, with Metron’s advanced water submetering solutions and actionable intelligence, you gain the ability to monitor water usage down to the individual tenant level, ensuring fair billing, reducing waste, and promoting conservation.
Water Submetering
Water submetering is a crucial tool for commercial properties, providing precise measurement of water usage per tenant by installing a submeter on each unit to track individual usage. Metron’s meters are equipped with cellular connectivity, allowing them to transmit data automatically every day, eliminating the need for manual meter readings. This real-time data transmission not only ensures that tenants pay only for the water they use, promoting fairness and accountability, but also provides property owners and managers with several key benefits.
Granular Water Usage Data in WaterScope®
Metron’s submeters gather usage data every 60 seconds, providing unparalleled data granularity. All this detailed information is easily accessible within the WaterScope web platform, allowing property managers and tenants to fully understand water usage patterns and identify potential waste. By quickly spotting and fixing leaks or monitoring excessive water use, such as landscape irrigation, you and your tenants can significantly reduce waste. Additionally, with our new Master Meter monitoring device, Metron can help improve recapture rates by detecting infrastructure leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Streamlined Billing
Metron’s hardware and software seamlessly compile water usage data and present it in an easily understood format for both you and your tenants. We offer a variety of billing options to best suit your property’s needs. By gathering your water rate information, we can generate invoices to bill each tenant for their exact usage. Metron also offers an API to connect with many billing software systems you use for invoicing.
Improved Tenant Satisfaction
Informed tenants are satisfied tenants. By providing access to Metron’s WaterScope dashboard, tenants can monitor their water usage in real-time, helping them identify leaks and avoid surprises on their bills. When questions arise about higher-than-expected usage, the data is readily available to resolve concerns quickly and efficiently.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
With over 30 years of experience in the water industry, Metron has engineered the most reliable and durable meters available. This means fewer repairs, replacements, and maintenance needs, leading to more consistent meter readings and lower long-term costs for your property.
ESG Data at Your Fingertips
As water sustainability becomes increasingly important, commercial properties may need to report on environmental metrics. With WaterScope, gathering the necessary data for sustainability reports is simple, ensuring your property can meet these requirements without adding extra work for your team.
Application-Specific Metering
Metron also offers specialized application metering solutions, ideal for tenants with specific water use applications within their units. For example, a tenant operating a cooling tower can utilize an application meter to accurately track how much water is lost due to evaporation. This data is critical for obtaining sewer rebates from the city, as it demonstrates the amount of water not entering the sewer system. By installing an application meter, tenants can optimize their water use, reduce costs, and ensure compliance with local regulations.
