Outcome
Accurate landlord cost recovery from tenants

What is it?

__________________
New Zealand's time-of-day energy rates can total 144 individual rates across the year. For a landlord on-billing tenants, getting every unit of energy into the right rate is difficult to do manually.

Using the Billing module in Schneider Electric Power Monitoring Expert (PME) and custom Quasar frameworks, we calculate the energy consumed through the day, week and month for each individual rate, then generate monthly reports for on-billing tenants automatically.

144 Individual Rates

Business & Non-Business Days

Demand & Network Charges

Per-Tenant Billing

Monthly Tenant Reports

Landlord Cost Recovery

Example in Practice

The challenge: A landlord needed to on-bill tenants for the power they consume, against a time-of-day structure of 144 individual rates through the year.

What we built:
Billing in PME's Billing module, plus custom Quasar frameworks that calculate energy consumed across the day, week and month for each rate.

What it delivers:
Automatic monthly reports for each on-billing tenant, and accurate cost recovery for the landlord.
