Sub-Metering System

A structured solution for projects that need accurate energy allocation, flexible billing rules, and clearer cost visibility across tenants, departments, or operating units.

What This Solution Is Designed to Support

  • Accurate sub-metering across tenants, departments, floors, or operating units.
  • Clear energy allocation for electricity, water, thermal energy, or other billed utilities.
  • Flexible billing rules based on project-specific pricing models.
  • Account-based charging, balance tracking, and billing follow-up.
  • Structured financial visibility for income, balances, and unsettled amounts.
  • A system foundation that can expand toward environmental sensing, HVAC metering, integration, or visualized operations.

How the Solution Works

EcoChainer’s Sub-Metering & Billing System connects field metering, data collection, billing logic, and account management into one coordinated workflow. This allows projects to move from raw consumption data to billable records, account status, and financial follow-up in a more structured way.

Standardized Three-Layer Architecture

This coordinated structure makes the solution more practical to deploy, more usable after handover, and easier to extend as project requirements grow.

Software Layer

The software platform supports monitoring, alarms, reporting, analysis, and future functional expansion.

Communication Layer

Gateways and communication links transfer field data into a stable and usable flow for system-wide monitoring.

Devices Layer

Field meters, sensors, and equipment interfaces collect energy and operating data across the project.

On-Premise Deployment

Operates entirely within the project environment for stable and independent system operation.

Core Solution Capabilities

The solution provides a practical set of system-level capabilities to support project delivery, daily monitoring, and long-term operation.

Platform Configuration & Access Control

Support project setup, organizational structure, user roles, and permission control for structured daily use and long-term system management.

Real-Time Metering Visibility

Monitor current meter status, consumption values, device details, and historical curves for ongoing metering visibility and data verification.

Billing Data & Energy Reporting

Generate queryable reports across time periods, buildings, regions, and energy categories to support billing review and data tracking.

Account Management & Charging Control

Manage accounts, account classification, recharge, deductions, abnormal accounts, and billed or unbilled records within one platform.

Automated Bill Generation

Generate energy bills by project, tenant, or account based on metered consumption data, reducing manual billing workload.

Flexible Pricing Strategy

Support configurable energy pricing, scheduled price activation, and multiple charging models such as fixed rates, tiered pricing, or time-of-use billing.

Financial Overview & Transaction Tracking

Track prepaid amounts, actual income, balances, unsettled funds, and transaction records for clearer financial visibility and reconciliation.

Specialized Metering & Extended Inputs

Extend the system with HVAC cooling and heating metering, environmental sensing, and third-party device access where billing scope goes beyond standard utilities.

Integration, Control & Visualized Operations

Support API connectivity, selected remote control functions, and 2D or 3D operational views for projects requiring broader system coordination.

Typical Project Fit

This solution is typically used in projects that require standardized monitoring, local deployment, and a clear path for future expansion.
