ABSTRACT:
A method for computing the energy consumed by each unit in a multiple unit facility operating from a single furnace which burns fossil fuel. The method involves connecting an hour meter in a separate electrical circuit including a hot water circulator or a blower fan in series with a thermostat and a source of line voltage and using a microprocessor to allocate the proportional use of energy by each of the units relative to the total usage of all of the units by comparison of the reading of each hour meter in each unit to the combined reading of all of hour meters and computing in dollars the energy consumption of each unit during said time period by multiplying the allocated proportion by a number corresponding to the fuel cost over said time period.
