In response to the energy crisis of the 1970s and in order to promote energy conservation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") promulgated regulations "requiring that, to the extent practicable, all Utilities consumed directly by tenants shall be individually metered." 24 C.F.R. Sec. 965.401 (1993); see 24 C.F.R. Secs. 965.401-.410 (1993) (Individual Metering of Utilities for Existing PHA-Owned Projects). Prior to these regulations, many PHAs operated on a "mastermeter" system, where the PHA did not keep track of individual utility consumption, but simply paid one bill for all utilities supplied to a building or project through a system meter or meters. See 24 C.F.R. Sec. 965.402(d). All PHAs using mastermetering were required to convert to individual metering if the conversion was financially justified by a cost/benefit analysis described in 24 C.F.R. Sec. 965.404. See 24 C.F.R. Sec. 965.403.
