Canadian smart submetering firm Wyse Meter is deploying its services to buildings across the country managed by Tribe Property Technologies to boost environmental sustainability, smarter operations and the experience for residents.

“Utility submetering offers multifamily residential buildings a system to fairly distribute utility costs among their residents and can result in significant savings for residential rental properties, condo boards and strata corporations, as well as developers,” said Tribe CEO Joseph Nakhla. ”Wyse Meter not only offers solutions for the current needs of energy management, but the company is pioneering technology to solve growing environmental issues including sustainable in-suite heating and cooling and electric vehicle charging deployment.”

Designed to integrate easily into a building’s digital ecosystem and physical space, Wyse submeters are for the measurement and billing of utility consumption of individual suites in bulk-metered buildings.

“We are excited to be teaming up with Tribe to bring convenient and effective energy management to their growing portfolio,” said Peter Mills, Wyse CEO. “Introducing submetering to provide residents with more visibility and control of their utility consumption is the most effective way to reduce utility costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions in the building. We are excited to commence this partnership and we expect to see it develop quickly to offer additional services tailored to making residents lives easier and the world a little greener.”

Tribe manages approximately 40,000 homes made up of more than 100,000 residents. The company’s Tribe Home proprietary community management software is integrated into every community with its ability to connect, inform, educate and protect through the digitisation and simplification of residential community living.

Tribe receives compensation from partners for use of the Tribe Home platform. The company’s partners also commit to providing a special offering for Tribe’s homeowners and tenants allowing them to take advantage of Tribe’s group buying power. The type and amount of compensation varies from partnership to partnership.

Wyse serves the Canadian market coast to coast with more than 220,000 suites under contract. Its submeters are for electricity, water, thermal and natural gas, and it provides billing options for additional services such as HVAC, EV charging, leak detection and internet services as well as ESG and sustainability reporting. 

Tribe is a property technology company that is digitising the traditional property management industry. Its integrated service-technology delivery model is said to serve the needs of a wider variety of stakeholders than traditional service providers.
