Payment for electrical services

 

28

 

15.12.1

The tenant represents that he is aware that the charges for the use of electricity on the premises will be made by the reading of a meter to be installed by the landlord at the tenant’s expense. The type of meter will be chosen by the landlord in its sole judgment. The rate at which the tenant will be charged for the use of electricity on the premises by a reading of the meter will be the rate accepted from time to time by the electric company for consumption of electricity at the rate for load and time at a low voltage.

 

 

15.12.2

The tenant represents that he is aware that in addition to the charge for using electricity on the premises he will also be charged for consumption of electricity for the floor’s air conditioning system. The charge to the tenant for the electricity use of the floor’s air conditioning system will be calculated according to the tenant’s proportionate share of the overall consumption of the floor’s air conditioning system. The tenant’s proportionate share of the consumption of electricity of the floor’s air conditioning system shall be calculated according to the proportionate share of electrical consumption on the premises compared to the electrical consumption in all the leased areas on the floor.

        • Electrical consumption for the floor’s air conditioning system shall be measured by the reading of a meter to be installed by the landlord at the expense of the tenants on the floor. The type of meter will be determined by the landlord in its sole judgment. The rate by which the tenant will be charged for the floor’s air conditioning system shall be the rate that is accepted from time to time by the electric company for electric consumption at the rate for load and time at a low voltage.

          An example for calculating the tenant’s share of the electrical consumption of the air conditioning system on the floor: If for example the total consumption of all the tenants on the floor (not including electrical consumption of the floor’s air conditioning system) according to an aggregate reading of all the meters installed for the leased properties on the floor is 100 and the electrical consumption on the premises according to a reading of the meter installed for the premises is 20, then the tenant’s share in the electrical consumption of the air conditioning system for the floor will be 20%.

 

 

15.12.3

If, in the opinion of the landlord, the premises require a higher consumption of electricity of the floor’s air conditioning system than the tenant’s proportionate share of the floor’s use as stated above, then the landlord may establish that the tenant’s share of the payment for electric consumption for the air conditioning system on the floor will be greater than his proportionate share of electrical consumption of all the tenants on the floor. In this

 

29

 

instance the tenant’s proportionate share in the payment of electric consumption for the air conditioning system on the floor will be calculated according to a variable fixed by the landlord after consultation with its electrical specialist. If such a variable is established for charging the tenant, the tenant will pay his share for the consumption of electricity for the air conditioning system on the floor in accordance with the landlord’s determination.

 

 

15.12.4
