Purpose
The Meter List provides a portfolio-wide overview of all meters and their data coverage. It is designed to help you:
- Identify meters with missing or incomplete data
- Prioritise meters that have the greatest impact on coverage and reporting
- Navigate quickly to add or edit meter data
- Monitor automation status and monitoring methods at scale
This view is especially useful during data collection cycles, pre-reporting checks, and quality assurance reviews.
Where to find the Meter List
Navigation path:
Data Collection Portal → Portfolio → Meter List
The Meter List is organised into three tabs:
- Energy
- Water
- Waste
Each tab shows all meters of that resource type across the selected portfolio.
What information the Meter List shows
Each row represents a single meter and includes:
Asset name
Click to navigate directly to the asset
Asset ID
Meter ID
Time coverage (%)
Percentage of the reporting period covered by valid consumption data
Covered area
Floor area associated with the meter
Subcategory
(e.g. Electricity, Natural gas, District heating)
Automated
Indicates whether the meter is connected to an API
- Actions
- ➕ Add consumption
- ✏️ Edit meter
This allows you to manage meters without navigating asset by asset.
How to use the Meter List effectively
Prioritise by data coverage
Sort by Time coverage (%) to surface meters with less than 100% coverage.
This is the fastest way to identify:
- Missing months
- Late data submissions
- Gaps that will block reporting or reduce coverage metrics
Focus on meters with the biggest impact
Sort by Covered area to identify meters that represent the largest share of floor area.
Meters with low coverage and large covered area should be prioritised first, as they have the greatest impact on:
- Data coverage
- Intensity calculations
- Portfolio analytics and reporting
Use filters to narrow your focus
Use the Filter button to refine the table, for example:
- Only meters under landlord operational control
- Only manual meters (not automated)
- Only a specific subcategory (e.g. Natural gas)
- Only specific monitoring methods (e.g. invoices, smart meters)
This is especially useful when coordinating with property managers or external data providers.
Managing meters directly from the table
From the Actions column:
- Click ➕ to add consumption for a specific meter
- Click ✏️ to edit meter details or review historical versions
This allows you to resolve issues quickly without navigating through multiple screens.
Downloading the Meter List
You can download the Meter List for offline review or analysis.
Navigation path:
Data Collection Portal → Portfolio → Meter list → Download
Extrapolated consumption (download only)
When downloading, Scaler may include extrapolated monthly consumption values for months with partial data coverage.
This extrapolation:
- Estimates full-month consumption when only part of the month is recorded
- Uses recent historical consumption patterns
- Assigns a confidence score to each estimate
These values are for analysis and review only and do not overwrite entered consumption in the platform.
They help support like-for-like comparisons and QA workflows.
When to use the Meter List
Use the Meter List when you want to:
- Prepare for reporting deadlines
- Improve portfolio-wide data coverage
- Identify bottlenecks in data collection
- Review automation progress
- Support audits or internal QA checks
It is one of the most effective tools for managing data quality at scale.
