To pay heating&nbsp; supply&nbsp; fees accord<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ing&nbsp; to&nbsp; how much&nbsp; heat&nbsp; people <br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; used. The&nbsp; long expected charging method on heat metering was&nbsp; introduced yesterday. However,&nbsp; the&nbsp; so-called&nbsp; double-way&nbsp; charging method&nbsp; is only&nbsp; adapted to non-residential clients.<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; According&nbsp; to&nbsp; the&nbsp; new method,&nbsp; two charges, basic&nbsp; charge&nbsp; and&nbsp; charge on heat metering,&nbsp; are&nbsp; concluded. The basic&nbsp; charge is&nbsp; set&nbsp; at 16yuan/sq.m&nbsp; （extra&nbsp; fees&nbsp; for&nbsp; super-high buildings）&nbsp; and will be&nbsp; collected according&nbsp; to&nbsp; covered&nbsp; area. The&nbsp; charge of heat metering&nbsp; is&nbsp; 0.1713yuan/kw-hr. The qualified non-residential clients can pay&nbsp; the charge based on&nbsp; covered&nbsp; area metering&nbsp; in advance. With&nbsp; the&nbsp; end of heating&nbsp; supply period, heating&nbsp; supply&nbsp; company will&nbsp; calculate&nbsp; the&nbsp; final charge according&nbsp; to heating metering&nbsp; and will&nbsp; return&nbsp; the&nbsp; spare&nbsp; charge to client.
