Revenue grade submetering allows you to transfer the cost of utilities to your tenants, which provides an incentive to conserve resources, reducing overall costs and consumption. The result is a win-win – The landlord saves on the cost of utilities, and the tenants appreciate the fairness of paying only for their usage and avoiding rent increases driven by other tenants' excessive consumption.

Accurately allocate costs, perform Energy Audits with ease, establish and certify code compliance, apply for and justify tax credits, LEED credits or State energy credits.

Customer testimonials

"Love your meter system, it has been very helpful in managing our rural rental property from afar."

Will Egan

Napa, CA

"My condo building installed an OnmiMeter v4 system in our 24 units this summer, and I am very impressed. The meter was easy to install with the split core CTs, without shutting off power to the building. The antenna range is excellent, requiring only one EKM Push gateway and one WiFi connection for the building. The software allows the condo manager to export usage information and accurately allocate costs to unit owners. And, each unit owner has their own webpage link to monitor their own unit's meter. Overall, the lower installation and ongoing costs for the EKM system made this a clear winner versus competing systems."

"We use these for billing tenants so reliability is pretty key -- and in fact has always been one of the things we like the most about EKM. Our first deployment was about 7 years ago and has literally been running perfectly and untouched since then."

Interface With Your Software

EKM Push3 Data System

The EKM Push3 gateway handles all meter communication into our cloud database. Your data is then freely and securely available from a known, fixed location in the cloud, by way of your unique access key.

encompass.io

Encompass is our recommended software platform for EKM Push users. It allows meter data to be visualized on customizable dashboards. For billing applications, Encompass also includes a billing feature set that allows users to generate bills for their meters, or groups of meters.

Open API

We also provide the EKM Push data in a variety of formats via our Open API. We use the same API for our software options as a way of vetting the API that we offer. We encourage all users to experiment with the API, particularly if you are interested in interfacing with your own software solution.
