Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus of reporting the energy consumption of individual customers of a multi-user installation, including determining the fixed system energy consumption of the installation attributable to the individual customers. In an example, a device determines a base load energy of a data transmission system over a time interval. Further, the device generates a report of energy consumption attributed to a customer of the data transmission system based on the base load energy of the data transmission system over the time interval weighted by a fraction of a capacity hired by the customer, and the energy attributable to data of the customer transmitted at a determined data rate over the time interval. In a further example, the report of energy consumption attributed to the customer is generated further based on an actual data rate of the data of the customer.
