Mission Statement

To promote increased conversation and cost management of utilities within the multifamily housing industry. This will be accomplished by educating the industry on best practices, latest technology, and regulations relative to utility cost recovery.

Metering Statement

Where structurally practical and economically feasible, submetering is the preferred method of utility cost allocation.


RUBS Statement

RUBS is an acceptable alternative to submetering when the economic cost of submetering, or the risks associated with installing submeters, outweighs the benefits. When deploying any utility cost recovery methodology, the UMCA supports the use of techniques and technologies that best represent the actual consumption of a utility by the multifamily resident or commercial resident, within these constraints.
