A method and apparatus for metering building structures having a plurality of service outlets each having control valves (50, 150, 250, 370, 450, 550, 650), includes the installing of meters (60, 160, 260, 370, 460, 560, 670, 680) within a given distance from each one of the valves (50, 150, 250, 370, 450, 550, 650). A transmission system (76) is coupled electrically to each one of the meters (60, 160, 260, 370, 460, 560, 670, 680) for sending meter readings periodically to remotely located equipment (94). |
