Metering 101

The mantra “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it” is widely accepted, but many organizations still struggle to secure investment in metering infrastructure. The challenge? Demonstrating compelling business value that resonates with executives and decision-makers. Without shared access to critical utility and submetering data, companies miss opportunities to drive efficiency, accountability, and performance improvements.

This energy basics session explores current business pressures creating urgency around metering, metering basics, and what you need to create a successful metering program. We will discuss how metering transforms communication across facility operations, management layers, and corporate leadership, bridging data gaps through standardized protocols and formats, cross-site benchmarking, and anomaly detection.

This session provides attendees with a clear roadmap to shift metering from a perceived cost center to a high-value strategic asset that delivers measurable financial returns while supporting organizational goals for sustainability, cost reduction, operational excellence, and regulatory compliance.
