Sub-metering Utilities for Multi-family in CT

[Charles Hyatt]

Hello BP,

I was digging into CT laws about sub-metering utilities in multi-family properties and found that before 2016 it was against the law to do this in CT.  It seems that laws have been past within the last couple years that now allow different types of sub-metering.  The main driver is a green initiative to lower utility consumption throughout the state.  The laws also allow operators to use renewable energy sources to bill tenants.

Does anyone have any experience sub-metering in CT or can anyone validate what I have stated above?  If so, what utilities have you sub-metered?
