# Building meters
> View, manage, and configure utility and interval meters for one building in EnerG
Open `Meters` in the [building view](/products/energ/get-started/navigation#building-view) left sidebar after you select a site. You review meter lists, billing data, and properties for that building only.
To assign meters or manage links across the estate, use [Portfolio meters](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-meters) in the portfolio view.
## Navigate to building meters
From [Portfolio Home](/products/energ/analytics/benchmarking), click a building in the left sidebar. Click `Go to Building` at the top of the detail panel.
Click `Meters` in the building left sidebar. The page lists meters grouped by service category.
## Understand the meter list
The left panel groups meters by service category: **Energy** (Electric, Lighting, Natural Gas, Steam), **Water**, and **Waste**. Each meter displays its number and a badge indicating its type.
* **utility** — the meter receives monthly billing data from a provider
* **interval** — the meter receives high-frequency interval reads (hourly or 15-minute)
* **both** — the meter has utility billing data and interval data
Click `All` at the top of the meter list to see the total count, such as **All (12)**. Select a category to narrow the table. Click a meter row or name to open its detail view.
For how bills and interval reads feed meters, see [Data sources and meters](/products/energ/concepts/data-and-meters).
### Meter table columns
The main table lists every meter assigned to the building. For what each column shows, such as `Level`, `Completeness`, and `Data Source`, see [Meter table columns](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#meter-columns).
## Filter and search meters
Use the search bar and filter controls above the table to find meters quickly.
| Control | Purpose |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Search Meters** | Find a meter by number or name |
| **Select Data Sources** | Limit results to one or more data sources |
| **Filter** | Open advanced filters |
| **Level** | Filter by main or sub meter |
| **Service Type** | Filter by commodity |
| **Unit** | Filter by usage unit |
| **Status** | Filter by active or inactive |
| **Clear All** | Reset every filter |
Compare meters
Click **Compare Meters** in the top-right corner to open **Meter Comparison Sets**. Check **Completeness** in the meters table first. Low scores often mean billing data is missing before a comparison is meaningful.
See [Meter comparisons](/products/energ/data-quality/meter-comparisons) for the full workflow, screenshots, and threshold guidance.
## Unassign meters from the building
Click `Unassign Meters` to remove meters from the building record without deleting historical data from the portfolio.
Select the meters to unlink, then click `Unlink`. Use [Portfolio meters](/products/energ/analytics/portfolio-meters) when you need to assign meters to a different building.
## Review meter detail
Select any meter from the list to open its detail view. The header shows the meter number, a date range picker, and action buttons **Edit Meter Data**, **+ Add Meter Data**, and a **three-dot** overflow menu for bulk import.
The detail view includes five tabs: **Overview**, **Data Quality**, **Data Table**, **Interval Data**, and **Properties**.
### General information
The **General Information** card summarizes account metadata from the utility feed, such as service address, account number, and connection status. For each field, see [General information fields](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#general-information).
### Overview tab
The `Overview` tab shows two side-by-side charts for the selected year.
* **Monthly Consumption per Billing Period** — raw usage totals per billing cycle, with **Provider** data in teal and **Accrued** data in striped bars
* **Calendarized Monthly Consumption** — the same data after calendarization spreads it across calendar months so January always means January
Toggle between **Bill Default Usage** and **Metric Usage** above the charts to switch the consumption source. The first screenshot above shows **Bill Default Usage**.
For how calendarization works and why it matters, see [Data sources and meters](/products/energ/concepts/data-and-meters).
### Data Quality tab
The `Data Quality` tab shows billing coverage for the selected meter and lists each bill period in a table below the chart. Use it when you investigate completeness gaps. See [Data completeness](/products/energ/data-quality/data-completeness#review-gaps-on-a-meter) for how scores roll up and how to fix common causes.
#### Bills Data Quality chart
The **Bills Data Quality** chart is a horizontal timeline for the open meter. Color segments show how each period is classified, from complete coverage to gaps and overlaps. For the color legend, see [Data quality legend](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#data-quality-legend).
#### Billing detail table
The table lists individual billing records for the meter, including provider, service type, statement type, usage, and billing dates. For column definitions, see [Data table columns](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#data-table-columns).
When a bill PDF was uploaded with the record, **Statement Type** shows a **BILL** link with a view icon. Click **BILL** to open the PDF in a new viewer so you can verify usage and charges against the table row.
Open the bill PDF when you dispute a row or need to confirm the billed period before you edit meter data on the **Overview** tab.
### Data Table tab
The `Data Table` tab lists every billing record for the open meter in a sortable table. Use service tag filters and **Export** to download rows for offline review.
#### Billing Period and Calendarized tabs
Switch between two views of the same underlying data.
| Tab | Purpose |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Billing Period** | One row per billing period as the utility reports it |
| **Calendarized** | Usage and cost spread across calendar months |
On **Calendarized**, each row aligns usage and cost to calendar months. **Estimated** may show **Yes** when the row is projected or not yet final.
#### Table columns
Sort any column with the header arrows. Scroll horizontally to reach **Start Date** and **End Date**. For what each column shows, see [Data table columns](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#data-table-columns).
A **Billing Period** row with **Data Origin** **Provider** and no **Estimated** flag reflects a final bill from the utility. **Calendarized** rows with **Estimated** **Yes** may appear before the final bill posts for that month.
#### Export meter data
Click **Export** on the **Data Table** tab to download the filtered rows. The **Data Export** dialog offers three export modes.
| Mode | Purpose |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **All Fields** | Export every column in the table |
| **Custom Columns** | Choose columns, order, and formats before export |
| **Existing Template** | Run a saved column layout |
Select **All Fields** for a full export, or choose **Custom Columns** or **Existing Template** when you need a repeatable layout.
When you select **Custom Columns**, click **Next** to open **Custom Fields**.
Check the columns to include, such as **Building Name**, **Meter Name**, **Start Date**, **Usage**, and **Usage Unit Name**. Drag the handles to reorder rows. Set **Decimal Precision** and **Date Format** for the export file.
Click **Save Template** to store the current column layout. Enter a name such as **Template 1**, then click **Save & Export** to download and save the layout for next time.
Select **Existing Template**, choose a template from the **Template Name** dropdown, and click **Show Details** to review included columns and formats. Use the pencil icon to edit the template or the trash icon to delete it.
Click **Submit** to generate the file. EnerG applies your current table filters and the active **Billing Period** or **Calendarized** tab.
The same **Export** workflow is available on building and portfolio **Data Table** views when you need a wider scope than one meter.
Interval Data tab
The `Interval Data` tab appears when the meter has high-frequency reads. Use it to analyze sub-daily patterns that monthly bills cannot show.
#### Controls
| Control | Purpose |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Date range** | Limit charts to a start and end date, such as `2026/05/01 – 2026/05/21` |
| **Point type** | Select the interval metric, such as **Differential Electric Energy Accumulator** or **Total Energy** |
The point type must match the interval feed you configured in [meter comparisons](/products/energ/data-quality/meter-comparisons).
#### Interval Hourly Consumption
**Interval Hourly Consumption** is a heat map with hours of day on the horizontal axis and days on the vertical axis. Color intensity reflects kWh for each hour.
A **Degree Days** chart on the right shares the same day axis. Red bars extend right for heating degree days; blue bars extend left for cooling degree days. Use it to relate load shape to weather.
Brighter cells during business hours often indicate base building load. Teal cells in early morning hours suggest equipment off or setback mode.
#### Interval Daily Consumption
**Interval Daily Consumption** plots total daily usage as teal bars. An orange **Temperature** line on the secondary axis shows average daily temperature in °F when weather data is available.
#### Daily Consumption by calendar month
**Daily Consumption** (year view) is a heat map with one row per day of month (1–31) and one column per calendar month. Color intensity reflects daily kWh across the selected year.
Use this view to compare the same calendar day across months, such as whether the 15th of each month runs hotter than other days.
### Properties tab
The `Properties` tab displays configuration for the open meter, such as scope, unit, service type, and `Include In Metrics`. Click **Edit properties** to change values, then save. For each field, see [Meter properties](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#properties).
In edit mode, additional lifecycle and source fields appear, including service start and end dates, status, data source, and the deregulated supply toggle.
Set **Service End Date** and mark the meter inactive instead of deleting historical billing rows when a utility account closes.
## Edit billing records
You modify individual billing records when you find errors or need to correct imported data.
Select the meter from the list, then confirm you are on the **Overview** tab.
Click **Edit Meter Data** in the top-right corner. The **Edit Meter Details** table opens with every billing row in editable columns.
Click any cell to edit it. Common edits include correcting **Usage** or **Charges**, adjusting **Start Date** and **End Date**, and changing **Estimated** or **Deregulation Status**.
Click **Submit Changes** in the bottom-right corner. Changes sync to dashboards and charts after the next automatic update cycle.
The editable columns match the meter's billing records, including charges, usage, dates, status, and reference uploads. For column definitions, see [Data table columns](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#data-table-columns). For how **Provider** and **System Accrual** rows differ, see [Data origin values](/products/energ/reference/data-and-meter-fields#data-origin).
Meter data changes reflect in all dashboards and charts after the automatic sync at the 25th minute of each hour.
### Upload a bill reference
In **Edit Meter Details**, click the upload control in the **Reference** column for a row. The **Upload Files** dialog opens for that meter.
Select files or drag them into the zone, then click **Save Files**.
### Review version history
Click the circular arrow icon in **Actions** to open **Activity Logs**. Expand a version to see the full snapshot EnerG stored for that row, including building context, charges, usage, and billing period type.
## Bulk import meter data
Use bulk import when you need to add many billing rows at once from a spreadsheet template.
Select the meter from the list.
Click the **three-dot** menu beside **+ Add Meter Data**, then select **Bulk Import**.
Click **Download Template**. Add rows in the downloaded file using the same columns as **Edit Meter Details**, including meter number, provider, service type, charges, usage, dates, and status.
Save the file, drag it into the upload zone or click to select it, then click **Submit**. New rows appear after processing and sync.
Match **Meter Number** and date ranges in the template to the open meter so EnerG maps rows correctly.
## Add new billing data
You add billing records when a bill arrives outside the automated feed or when you need to fill a gap.
Select the meter from the list.
Click **+ Add Meter Data** in the top-right corner. The **Add Meter Data** panel opens.
Provide **Usage**, **Cost**, **Start Date**, **End Date**, **Deregulation Status**, and **Estimated**. Upload a supporting file in **Upload Files** when you have a bill PDF.
Click **Submit**. The new record appears in the **Data Table** tab and updates consumption charts after sync.
## Filter by year
Use the `Choose Year` dropdown and the calendar icon in the top-right area of the meter detail to filter charts and tables to a specific year. The default view shows the current year.
## Include or exclude from metrics
Select the meter, then click the **Properties** tab.
Click **Edit properties**. Switch **Include In Metrics** on or off according to your governance rules.
Save so EnerG updates dashboards and compliance calculations.
When two meters cover the same service, exclude one from metrics tracking to prevent double counting.
## Deactivate a meter
Select the meter, then click the **Properties** tab.
Click **Edit properties**.
Enter the final day the meter was valid in **Service End Date**.
Change **Status** to inactive.
Save. Verify that alerts and completeness views no longer expect reads from that meter.
## Interval meters
Interval meters deliver granular usage, often hourly or every 15 minutes. You view interval data on the **Interval Data** tab when the meter has interval feeds. Chart sub-daily patterns on [Building Energy — Interval Trends](/products/energ/analytics/building-dashboards-energy#interval-trends).
Align interval meters to the same service types as your billing meters so reconciliation reports stay straightforward.
