MeterZ unlocks complete energy data coverage across your portfolio. Working closely with real estate partners, property managers and landlords, we identify exact data requirements to streamline reporting, protect asset value and drive energy efficiency.

In a market where utility data aggregators have become the default source for reporting, MeterZ takes a fundamentally different approach. We combine on-site Internet of Things (IoT) with our backend platform for truly complete, auditable, and accurate data streams. As regulatory scrutiny, reporting requirements and energy costs increase, the need for reliable data is absolute. 

Here are three reasons explaining how we do things differently. 

1) Multi-Utility Coverage, not just Electricity

Utility data aggregators provide data on electricity which while important, represents only part of a building’s energy profile. Gas, water and heat account for a substantial portion of consumption and cost but they aren't really available through utility aggregation services. 

MeterZ captures all utility types using a range of hardware feeding data live into our platform. We also monitor on-site solar arrays capturing consumption and generation data, supporting power purchase agreements (PPAs) and on-site generation projects. 

Capturing the full picture of data makes sustainability and compliance reporting easier, for the development of successful initiatives solving cost and carbon issues.

If your portfolio is in Europe, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive's (CSRD) shift towards double materiality prioritises data that shows how sustainability issues affect asset value, shifting away from traditional ESG reporting centred on policies and narratives rather than consequences. This is data we can help with.

2) We go Behind The Meter - Down to the Unit, Tenant and Plant Equipment Level

Utility data aggregators often rely on half-hourly data sourced from suppliers, available only when smart meters have been installed. Smart meter penetration remains just under the 70% mark in the UK, and in some European countries including Germany, it is as low as 3%. 

We go behind the meter capturing sub-meter data directly on-site. Asset owners, property managers and tenants can gain visibility into abnormal loads, equipment performance and true drivers of consumption. Informed operational decisions can be made and distributed energy resources (DERs), optimised. Tenants can be properly recharged based on actual consumed energy. 

3) A Clear Auditable Path vs Estimated Annual Consumption (EAC) 

With low smart meter uptake, utility data aggregators rely on supplier-visible data such as bills, invoice line items and manual meter readings that reflect assumptions, corrections and EAC values rather than usage. This masks real consumption patterns and undermines confidence in the data. 

MeterZ captures live high-resolution data in intervals as low as five minutes, creating a clear and auditable path from site to screen. We own and manage our data infrastructure giving us better control over uptime and performance of our technology. Where data drop-offs might occur for example in a power outage, we apply machine learning to fill and tag the data gap for continuity without compromising data integrity. Our devices keep counting even when they lose connection, so your data is never lost. 

As reporting requirements tighten and risk tolerance shrinks, robust, reliable data is essential. Protecting asset value requires the full data picture obtained from independent, hardware-focused energy monitoring - central to MeterZ’s approach.
