Gas Meter
A gas meter measures the volume of natural gas consumed by a building or site, typically in cubic metres, used for both billing and consumption monitoring.
Definition
A gas meter records the volume of natural gas consumed, typically measured in cubic metres and converted to kWh for billing and reporting using a calorific value conversion factor. Like electricity meters, gas meters range from basic to smart, with smart gas meters increasingly common alongside smart electricity rollouts.
Why It Matters
Gas consumption is a significant contributor to Scope 1 emissions for organisations with on-site heating or process combustion, making accurate gas metering important for both cost and carbon accounting.
