Apartment Metering
04.06.2010
In
wanting to introduce a fair user pay system for
the 60 residential apartments within the
complex. The complex corporate body manager
approached ADR to offer a solution.
Our first task initialed a site audit to
identify existing meters and there suitability
for having additional technology added. We also
need to address access to exiting pipe work and
configuration to ensure individual apartment
metering.
They
wanted to monitor both Hot and Cold Water.
Provided quotation to Body manager to supply pulse
heads terminated to TRC600 metering units, supply
and installation of new metering, inclusive of
TRC600 metering units. Design and configuration of
repeater network, installation and setup up of
EasybillOr software for complex reading and billing
of water
meter readings.

Water
billing was historically divided amongst apartment
occupants as an equal share. From looking at the
consumption V apartment graph above it can be
readily seen that 8 of the apartments consumed
considerable more than the complex average and the
equal share was a significant savings to these
smaller users.
However with the introduction of EasyBillOr and the
Emeris TRC600 product with correctly applied
metering we have been able to introduce to the
complex a true user pays system.
Readings are capture automatically every month, or
on demand as needed and bills are able to be
produced that reflect actual usage for the period.
By introducing EasybillOr along with Emeris TRC
product the corporate Body has been able to
introduce true user pays billing for water usage.
