안녕하세요,
매번 문의만 드려 죄송해요..

다름이 아니라 제는 미국에 온지는 1주일이 조금 넣었구요, 신랑이 썼던 지난달 아파트 관리비가 나왔는데 글쎄 가스비가 지난달에 비해 3배나 더 나왔습니다. 그간 5개월간의 관리비 분석을 해본결과 평균 20불을 넘지 았았었는데..
집이 워낙 따뜻해서 보일러를 거의 틀지도 않았고…아니 0으로 해놓고 삽니다.

그래서 궁금하여 문의를 했더니 가스비 계산 방법이라고 하면서 FILE울 보내왔는데..잘 모르겠네요.

원문내용은…
“RUBS” Is An Acronym For Ratio Utility Billing System

• The purpose of this program is to encourage responsible gas usage by having residents pay for a portion of the property’s total gas utility costs.
• Each resident will be billed for his or her allocated portion of the property’s costs.
• There are no individual meters inside residents’ apartments. Residents are charged for their proportionate share of the property’s total gas expense.

The allocation formula is based upon the square footage of each unit as a percentage of the total billable square footage of all units combined. Billing is not based upon individual metering.

Furthermore, the property’s utility costs may be reduced by some percentage for allocation of common area usage. This cost is absorbed by the property, thus reducing the amount of the bill allocated to the individual residents.

Generic example – this is not an actual calculation of your bill:

Assume the square footage of Unit X is 1,000 s.f. and the sum of all square feet of all of the units (with less weight given to vacant units) is 256,732 s.f…

To arrive at this unit’s individual percentage of the overall gas bill, divide Unit X’s square footage by the total square footage. In this case the percentage would be 0.3895%.

Assume the property has a $5,000 gas bill and the property absorbs 10% of these bills for common area allocation. The total cost available to allocate to the residents would be $4,500 ($5,000 – (10% x $5,000).

Take Unit X’s percentage and apply it to the property’s gas bill available for allocation to arrive at the residents’ bill. In this case it is $4,500 x 0.3895% = $17.53 for gas.

If additional utility charges such as base and billing fees are applied to resident statements they will be listed as separate line items. Please note other utility charges may have different billing methodologies.

PS)또한가지만 질문드리겠습니다.
