Sub-metering Strategies & Solutions

Metering strategies that cut energy waste, reduce costs and streamline compliance.

Want to unlock the benefits of sub-metering, but aren’t sure where to start?

At Concept, we help organisations gain energy and water visibility across complex estates – using strategic sub-metering to uncover how plant, systems and processes truly consume energy.

With deep expertise in energy management, building services and metering technology, we help you take control of your energy use.

We offer a complete metering service for industrial, commercial and public sector organisations, from audits and strategy through to design, installation and ongoing data monitoring.

The benefits of an intelligent metering strategy

Our metering services

1. Metering Audit & Assessment

Gain a clear understanding of what you have, and what you need. We trace pipework and locate existing meters, highlighting gaps and opportunities. You receive a comprehensive report with practical recommendations.   

2. Sub-metering Strategy & Design
