In apartment buildings, residential compounds, and mixed-use developments, gas consumption is often difficult to measure, monitor, and allocate accurately at the individual unit level. As property managers and utilities face growing demands for operational efficiency, billing transparency, and digitalization, traditional metering and management approaches are increasingly unable to meet evolving requirements. Meter Reading On-site reading by technicians is labor-intensive, costly, and difficult to scale across large residential buildings. Shared or estimated billing leads to inaccurate cost allocation,...
