Energy and Utility Management
This category covers services that help properties track, bill and reduce utility use, including submetering, utility billing and cap programs, energy purchasing and efficiency upgrades such as lighting or controls.
Utilities, energy and sustainability
Many student housing leases bundle utilities into rent, so usage comes straight out of operating budgets. Billing, metering, efficiency upgrades, recycling and EV charging all shape both cost and residents' expectations.

Where to start
The categories involved
Each one opens a short guide, then the suppliers who do the work.
EV Charging
This category covers the installation and operation of electric vehicle chargers for resident and guest parking, from electricians who install hardware to networks that handle payments, access and software.
Smart Home and Building Sensors
Smart home and building technology includes connected locks, thermostats and sensors that let you manage access, comfort and early warnings from one system. In student housing this often reaches down to individual bedroom doors.
Waste and Valet Trash
This category covers trash and recycling hauling, dumpster and compactor service, bulk pickups and doorstep valet trash programs where crews collect bags from outside each unit on set nights. It also includes extra hauling for move-out and move-in.
Laundry Equipment and Services
This category covers companies that supply and service washers and dryers in shared laundry rooms or inside units. Some lease and maintain the machines in exchange for a share of revenue, while others sell equipment outright or offer a managed service.
Wi-Fi and Internet Providers
This category covers bulk and managed internet for a whole property, including the Wi-Fi network across units and common areas and the support residents call when it fails. Some providers also handle cabling, cable television and the network your staff uses.
