AMR energy meters and BMS audits provide reliable data, ensuring accuracy in energy reporting and supporting smarter sustainability strategies.

Why Energy Data Quality Matters

  • Many organisations still rely on estimated bills, legacy control systems, and fragmented energy data. This approach obscures inefficiencies, limits energy conservation, and increases operational risk, often resulting in:
    • Higher-than-necessary energy costs due to inaccurate consumption tracking
    • Disputes with tenants or suppliers over billing and allocation
    • Missed opportunities for grants, rebates, or incentive funding
    • Incomplete or inaccurate ESG and carbon reporting
    • Ineffective operational and maintenance strategies, leading to suboptimal performance and wasted resources

    By combining AMR metering with BMS replacement, upgrades, and audits, these gaps are closed. Real-time, accurate energy data enables buildings to be compliant, efficient, cost-effective, and strategically aligned with sustainability targets.

What is AMR Metering?

Automated Meter Reading (AMR) is a system of digital meters and communication infrastructure that collects utility consumption data remotely and automatically, typically at half-hourly intervals. This provides:

  • Accurate billing for landlords, tenants, and operators
  • Detailed consumption insights to optimise operational efficiency
  • Responsive energy management, enabling immediate corrective actions and performance improvements

AMR meters are applicable for:

  • Main utility meters (electricity, gas, water)
  • Submeters for tenant billing, zonal control, or departmental allocation
  • Renewable systems such as solar PV, heat pumps, and CHP
  • District and heat networks requiring precise cost distribution

Inteb only deploys MID-approved meters, ensuring legal compliance, data integrity, and accuracy. These meters can be retrofit to existing infrastructure with minimal disruption and can integrate with Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) or BMS platforms for advanced control, reporting, and analytics.

What do you need – BMS Audit, Upgrade, or New Installation?

Your Building Management System (BMS) is the heart of your building’s operational efficiency, controlling key functions such as HVAC, lighting, hot water, and ventilation. Over time, many systems become outdated, overridden, poorly configured, or unable to support modern energy strategies.

Inteb provides a comprehensive service that covers BMS audits, upgrades, and full installations, ensuring your system delivers maximum efficiency, compliance, and data-driven insight.

BMS Audits

Our BMS audits identify areas where your system may be underperforming or creating inefficiencies, including:

  • Energy waste due to outdated schedules, control logic, or poorly configured sequences
  • Manual overrides causing inefficient operation and increased costs
  • Lack of zoning to reflect actual usage or occupancy patterns
  • Opportunities to integrate with AMR meters, sensors, and other building technologies
  • Compliance gaps with regulatory or reporting standards, including ESG and carbon reduction frameworks

Audits are carried out following industry best practice guidance, including CIBSE TM39, CIBSE TM63, and other relevant standards for building performance optimisation.
