What is mechanical metering?

Mechanical metering measures the consumption of utilities such as water, gas, heat, steam, and other non electrical services using physical flow and pressure based meters. These systems provide accurate, reliable readings that help organisations understand usage, allocate costs fairly, and identify inefficiencies across buildings and processes.

Mechanical metering is essential where utilities play a significant role in operational costs or where usage must be monitored for compliance, billing, or performance management.

For facilities teams

Facilities managers use mechanical metering to gain visibility over services that are often hidden or difficult to track. Accurate metering helps identify leaks, abnormal usage, and inefficient plant operation, supporting better maintenance planning and faster fault detection.

For property owners

Property owners and managing agents rely on mechanical metering to support fair tenant billing and reduce unnecessary utility costs. Clear, reliable data improves transparency, reduces disputes, and helps protect long term asset value.

For sustainability leads

Mechanical utilities such as water, gas, and heat have a direct impact on carbon emissions and resource use. Mechanical metering provides the data needed to track consumption accurately, report with confidence, and target meaningful reductions as part of wider net zero strategies.

Our Process

How mechanical metering works

Our approach follows a structured, practical process that ensures metering is accurate, compliant, and aligned with how your site operates.

Step one

Site assessment and utility review

We review your existing systems, plant, and utility layout to identify where mechanical metering will deliver the most value. This includes assessing access points, flow characteristics, and operational constraints.

Step two

Meter selection and specification

We specify the most appropriate mechanical meters based on the utility type, flow range, accuracy requirements, and installation environment. This ensures reliable readings and long term performance.

Step three

Installation and commissioning

Meters are installed with minimal disruption to operations. Each installation is tested and commissioned to confirm accuracy and correct integration with your wider monitoring or billing systems.

Step four

Ongoing visibility and insight

Once installed, mechanical meters provide consistent data that can be used for monitoring, reporting, tenant re billing, and performance optimisation. Where required, data can be integrated into a central platform alongside other utilities.

Our platform

A single platform for complete energy oversight

Our smart monitoring platform brings all your energy data into one place, giving teams a clear, shared view of performance across utilities, sites, and users. Designed for accuracy, flexibility, and collaboration, it turns complex data into practical insight that supports better control, reporting, and decision making across your organisation.

Multi-Utility Hosting and Multi-User Friendly

Our platform offers multi-utility hosting capabilities, allowing you to monitor and manage multiple utilities in one centralised system. Whether it’s electricity, gas, water, or other utilities, our user-friendly interface simplifies the process of tracking and optimising your consumption across different services. With support for multiple users, you can collaborate and share data seamlessly with your team, enabling efficient energy management across your organisation.

½ Hour Real-Time Data

Stay in control of your energy usage with our advanced monitoring system that provides half-hourly real-time data. By capturing and analysing data at such granular intervals, you gain valuable insights into your consumption patterns. This level of detail allows for precise monitoring, identification of trends, and the ability to make timely adjustments to optimise energy efficiency. With our half-hour real-time data, you can proactively manage your energy usage and drive meaningful reductions in consumption.

Set Tariff Rates for Each Utility

Tailor your energy monitoring to your specific needs by setting tariff rates for each utility. Our platform enables you to customise and assign different tariff rates for electricity, gas, water, or any other utilities you monitor. This feature empowers you to accurately calculate costs and analyse energy usage based on the specific rates you pay. By aligning tariff rates with your utility bills, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of your energy expenses and identify opportunities for savings. Take control of your energy budget with our flexible tariff rate options.

Minimum/Average/Maximum Readings

Our smart energy monitoring system provides you with comprehensive data analysis, including minimum, average, and maximum readings. By capturing and presenting this information, you can gain valuable insights into your energy consumption patterns over time. Understanding the range of readings allows you to identify peak usage periods, pinpoint potential inefficiencies, and make data-driven decisions to optimise energy efficiency.

Notification of Missing Data

Our platform is equipped with intelligent data monitoring capabilities, which means you’ll be promptly notified of any missing data. This feature ensures the integrity and reliability of your energy monitoring by alerting you when data gaps occur. By addressing missing data quickly, you can maintain accurate records, avoid data discrepancies, and ensure a consistent and reliable energy monitoring system.

Financial and Billing Summary

We understand the importance of managing your energy costs effectively. With our platform, you can access a comprehensive financial and billing summary that provides a clear overview of your energy expenses. This feature allows you to track and analyse your energy spending, identify cost-saving opportunities, and make informed decisions to optimise your financial performance. Gain full visibility into your energy-related financials with our intuitive financial and billing summary.

CO2 Summary

As part of our commitment to sustainability, our platform provides a CO2 summary that quantifies your carbon footprint. By monitoring and reporting your CO2 emissions, you can assess the environmental impact of your energy usage. This valuable information enables you to identify areas for improvement, set emission reduction goals, and contribute to a greener future. With our CO2 summary feature, you can track your progress towards achieving your sustainability targets.

Period Reporting

Our platform offers comprehensive period reporting capabilities, allowing you to generate detailed reports for specific time frames. Whether you need daily, weekly, monthly, or custom period reports, our system provides the flexibility to capture and analyse data based on your preferred reporting intervals. This feature enables you to track energy trends, monitor progress towards goals, and communicate your energy performance effectively.

Set Point by Point High/Low Alarms

Maintaining optimal energy usage is essential for efficiency and cost savings. Our smart energy monitoring system allows you to set high and low alarms for specific data points. This feature ensures that you are alerted when energy usage exceeds or falls below your predefined thresholds. By setting alarms, you can proactively address deviations, take corrective actions, and maintain efficient energy management throughout your organisation. Stay in control of your energy performance with our set point by point high/low alarms.
