Student Housing Submetering in Markham
Student housing often has high electricity consumption due to frequent turnover and varied usage patterns. Submetering provides accountability and may help reduce waste.
Why Submetering
Why Markham Buildings Choose Submetering
According to a Navigant study, sub-metered buildings may see up to 40% reduction in suite electricity consumption. For student housing in Markham, submetering means removing electricity from your operating expenses and letting each unit pay only for what they use.
Fair Billing
Each unit pays for their own electricity consumption. No more equal-split disputes or subsidizing heavy users.
