Accurate, real-time BMS metering solutions
Why BMS metering matters
Understanding how your building uses energy is the first step to reducing waste, cutting costs, and improving performance.
t-mac’s BMS metering systems go beyond the basics. We connect to your existing infrastructure, capture interval-level data, and deliver the insight you need to take action — all in one unified platform.
We help you:
- Accurately track energy use in real time
- Measure usage by zone, system, or equipment
- Detect inefficiencies and unusual activity
- Prepare for compliance and reporting obligations
How TMAC Does Metering (Our 5-Step Process)
Connect
We link to your mains meter or extract pulse outputs. Our system integrates with your existing infrastructure without disruption.
Sub-Meter by Zone
We segment usage into categories like lighting, HVAC, plug loads, or specific areas within your building — providing granular insight.
Collect & Stream
Interval-level data is securely collected and streamed to the cloud, ready for live access and historical analysis.
Validate & Assure
We flag anomalies, remove noise, and apply intelligent validation to ensure high-quality data for decision-making.
Visualise & Act
Data is presented in a clear dashboard view, allowing you to spot trends, set alerts, and generate reports in just a few clicks.
Benefits You’ll See
Cut Waste Fast
Identify high-usage areas and start saving immediately.
Enable Better Decisions
Know exactly where and how to focus upgrades or behavioural change.
Simplify Compliance
Stay ahead of ESG reporting, carbon targets, and internal audits.
Allocate Usage Fairly
Break down consumption by department, floor, or equipment. Allocate usage to individual tenants allowing for fair and transparent billing.
Build a Smarter Future
A strong metering foundation supports automation, BMS integration, and long-term energy strategy.
Mini Case Study
t-mac deployed a robust sub-metering network across Camden Market’s vast retail and leisure estate — connecting over 700 tenants to a single intelligent monitoring system.
By replacing unreliable SIM-based meters, the G3 platform delivered real-time visibility of energy use, automated reporting, and full tenant transparency.
This project transformed billing accuracy and eliminated data gaps, reducing ongoing maintenance and communication costs.
Technical Specifications
t-mac BMS Metering Panel
A dedicated t-mac metering panel with capability to connect to existing metering assets and new utility meters installed by t-mac.
- A hardware panel designed for on-site metering
- Integrates with existing pulse enabled, Modbus, and Mbus metering assets
- Often installed in plant rooms or distribution boards
- Designed to run preloaded control strategies (can run standalone or networked)
- Offers local control even without cloud access
- Transmits real-time data to the cloud dashboard via secure connection
- Enables automated alerts, alarms, and control strategies
- Compact footprint – ideal for installations with limited space
- Can function as a standalone data logger or part of a larger t-mac ecosystem
TMAC G3 Controller (Gateway)
A compact DIN-mounted data gateway designed to collect metering and environmental data, execute local logic, and transmit information to the TMAC cloud dashboard. Ideal for meter integration, remote alerts, and automated control strategies.

FAQ’s
Can TMAC work with my existing meters?
Yes, we can integrate with most pulse, Modbus, mbus, and LoRa meters.
Do I need a full BMS to use TMAC?
Not at all. Our platform works standalone or alongside BMS systems.
What’s the difference between metering and monitoring?
Metering refers to Utility data capture, monitoring generally refers to environmental conditions or equipment status, t-mac does both — and adds control.
What’s the difference between sub-metering and main metering?
Sub-metering breaks down energy use by zone, system or equipment. Main metering gives a total for the whole building. TMAC supports both.
