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.
