About the Guide

Unlike generic utility resources, this guide focuses specifically on how electricity works in Massachusetts multifamily apartment buildings.

It includes real-world examples, explanations in plain English, and practical advice you can use immediately.

Whether your building is master-metered or individually metered, you’ll better understand what you’re paying for, and where opportunities exist to reduce costs.
