Hi,
I am not native english speaker - please kindly have understanding. And also have not deep understanding on gas/heating installation issues.
There is a building consisting of 3 floors and 6 apartments. The building uses natural gas for centralized heating. I need to monitor energy consumption in each of the single apartments.
With regards to electricity I got installed sub-meters and that is not an issue here. However with regards to gas consumption I have a "problem" as there is one single gas meter for the whole building (in the basement). I wonder what would be the best way to monitor gas consumption/heat in each single apartment...I am not sure.
Each apartment has its own heat meters installed and they are read by someone once in a while. But what I need is to be able to monitor energy consumption in near real-time for own purposes - not with the utility involved. The issue on costs is not of interest, only consumption. Thanks for your attention.
