Automated sub-metering, tenant billing, and cost allocation
Landlords, operators of multi-tenant sites, shared campuses, and data-centre colocation providers all need to recover energy costs from end users fairly and defensibly. EC.Billing turns continuous sub-meter telemetry from EC.Node into audit-grade monthly invoices, with configurable allocation methods (metered, pro-rata by area, by occupancy, or by a custom formula).
The module handles tariff mirroring (pass the utility's time-of-use tariff straight through to tenants), administrative uplifts, demand-charge allocation using coincident peak attribution, and fuel adjustments that automatically propagate month to month — all auditable against the originating bill in EC.Bills.
Generated invoices include the full chain of custody — which sub-meter fed which allocation, which utility bill they were reconciled against, and which tariff rate applied in each interval — so tenant disputes are resolved in minutes rather than days. To verify and compare the underlying regulated tariff rates for Peru, Mexico, and Panama before configuring the tariff engine, the free EC.Tariff Analyzer provides current rate structures, TOU schedules, and demand-charge formulas directly from OSINERGMIN, CRE/CFE, and ASEP.
