Why Glacier
Engineering, end-to-end.
Every project is run by a senior engineer, with transparent pricing and a 25-year build promise.
- Half-hourly consumption data per circuit, per tenant
- MID-certified meters, legally valid for tenant billing
- Automated tenant cost recharging (no more spreadsheet fights)
- Multi-site portfolio dashboard with anomaly alerts
- Demand-side response opportunities identified automatically
- ESOS / SECR / Net Zero data exports built in
Deep dive
What sub-metering actually unlocks.
If you bill tenants for energy on a fixed service charge or a manual meter read every quarter, you're almost certainly losing money, and you're definitely losing data. Sub-metering replaces estimation with truth: every tenant, every circuit, every half-hour. It's the foundation of any serious commercial energy strategy.
We deploy MID-certified meters (the legal standard for billing tenants in the UK) across HMOs, build-to-rent, co-living, multi-let commercial, retail parks, industrial estates, and education campuses. The meters report half-hourly data into a central dashboard, yours and ours, and the platform automatically generates tenant invoices, identifies anomalies (a frozen pipe heater that's been on for six weeks?), and surfaces the top 10 energy waste opportunities every month.
For ESG and Net Zero reporting, the same data feeds straight into ESOS, SECR and TCFD frameworks, replacing weeks of consultant time with a one-click export. For multi-let landlords, automated tenant recharging typically pays back the entire metering install within 12–18 months.
We can install across an existing portfolio without downtime, rolling installs, single-site pilot first, then phased rollout. And every meter is OCPP/OCSF-compatible, so you're never locked into our software (though most clients stay because the analytics layer is the most useful thing they've ever paid for).
How it works
From first call to switch-on.
A senior engineer owns your project from survey to handover, no juniors, no surprises.
Audit
Site walk-through, electrical schematic review, scope definition (which circuits, which tenants).
Pilot
Single-site or single-floor install to prove value. Live data in your dashboard within 7 days of install.
Roll out
Phased deployment across the portfolio with zero tenant downtime. Typically 4–12 weeks per site.
Operate
Automated billing, monthly insights, anomaly alerts. We handle hardware support; you keep the savings.

"We replaced 40 hours of manual meter reading per month with one dashboard. The recharging alone covered the install in eight months, the energy savings were the bonus."
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Stop estimating. Start metering.
If you manage more than five tenants or three sites, sub-metering pays for itself faster than almost any other operational investment. Book a 20-min screening call and we'll size the opportunity.
