First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of calculating utility consumption for at least one unit of a building having a plurality of units, comprising:
- determining a square footage of the at least one unit;
sensing a temperature of the at least one unit over a predetermined period of time; and
calculating utility consumption for the at least one unit based at least in part on the determined square footage of the at least one unit and the sensed temperature of the at least one unit.
