Why universities need recharging / submetering
In order to keep student costs down, facility operators in higher ed often are forced to focus on keeping things running, rather than on being as efficient as possible.
But to achieve campus sustainability goals, operators need the experience and know-how to determine if their systems are working as well as they can be. Facility directors and operators are under enormous pressure to reduce the amount of utility consumption and achieve a carbon-neutral footprint.
They need to be able to:
- Index energy consumption to reduce carbon footprint and energy reduction
- Allocate costs / recharge for utility usage
- Report on the utility costs associated with particular schools or departments (e.g., dentistry)
- Capture revenue from high-earning departments and facilities
- Identify (and then decrease) the cost of operations and utilities through department awareness and education
- Meet board-mandated sustainability goals
- Know each area's baseline and consumption patterns (often required for public universities)
- Measure and validate energy conservation measures (ECMs)

You can't manage what you can't measure. You don’t really know how to support a larger strategic effort if you don’t know what and how these elements are influencing it. The utility consumption reports will start to give our campus community the tools that they need to start making these strategic decisions for behavioral awareness, investments in energy efficiency, and strategic capital planning.
