How Utility Cost Allocator Compares
vs spreadsheets, manual processes, and paid platforms
| Feature | UniCloud360 Utility Cost Allocator | Equal Split | Manual Spreadsheet | Facilities Management Software |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floor-area proportional allocation | Area × usage factor | Equal share | Manual formula | Config required |
| Usage factor weighting per building | Configurable 1-3 | No weighting | Separate multiplier | Energy audit needed |
| Per-utility category breakdown | 5 categories shown | Aggregate only | Total only | Config required |
| Department-level cost visibility | Per building total | Not possible | Manual assignment | Separate module |
| Print-ready allocation report | One-click | Manual formatting | Manual formatting | Scheduled export |
| Cost | Free forever | Inaccurate | Manual effort | Paid system |
What Facilities and Finance Teams Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"We've been splitting utilities equally across buildings for years. When I added usage factors — 2.5 for the engineering labs, 1.2 for the library — the allocation shifted dramatically. The labs were previously under-charged by about 35%. Now the cost recovery from departments actually reflects their consumption."
"The per-utility breakdown per building is exactly what our department heads need. They can see that their building's electricity share is the dominant cost and focus their energy-reduction efforts there. One number is never enough — they need to know which utility to address."
"We use this monthly for our internal billing. Each faculty is charged based on their building's footprint and usage factor. The print report goes to each Faculty Dean with their building's share — it has genuinely changed behaviour around energy usage."
"The usage factor is the feature that makes this more accurate than simple area allocation. Our sports complex uses significantly more water per m² than the administration block — having a usage factor of 2.0 for the sports facilities makes the water allocation realistic."
