Stratacon Smart Submetering system will provide you with flexible cost-saving and timesaving solutions.
"The current practice of including in-suite electricity costs in rent is not fair to tenants and does not promote conservation. Working with Stratacon and residents we have found we can dramatically and fairly reduce electricity consumption so that everyone benefits." - Margaret Herd, Vice President, Park Property Management
Let Stratacon Do the Research For You
At Stratacon, we believe that you must be fully informed about your options prior to discussing the issue of submetering with your building's owner(s). Stratacon will provide each property manager with a detailed comparative recommendation and present it to the building's owner(s). We do the groundwork, provide the due diligence and rationale, as well as make the presentation.

Just for Property Managers: PMI Web
Stratacon's Property Management Interface (PMI Web) allows property managers to view the energy consumption of each building, run reports and perform various functions via the web 24/7, in real time! Some of the key reports and functions PMI Web performs are:
-
Graphical Hourly Consumption profiling: Allows you to view electricity consumption down to the hour for the entire building or by each individual unit.
- Daily Billing: See what Stratacon has billed each tenant for. You can download this report into Excel to slice and dice the data in ways that are meaningful to you and have information available when you need it.
- Aging Accounts Receivable: A comprehensive Accounts Receivable aging report.
Getting Started
The easiest way to get started is to "Ask the Tough Questions".
- Do the meters meet provincial smart metering spec's?
- Who owns the meters and who is responsible to maintain them?
- Will they be provided without capital investment from the condo?
- Who is responsible for meter recertification?
- Is billing timely and done at regular intervals?
- Who is responsible for bad debt?
- Is the billing engine robust and scalable to meet your needs now and in five or ten years?
- Does the contract provide full transparency of all energy costs and fees?
Stratacon promises to offer you an easy, transparent and fair solution to your migration to smart submetering.
