Claim 16:
17. A method to adapt a distribution system configured to distribute mixed gas to supply energy to any one or more of residential, commercial, or industrial customers, each respective gas of a flow of mixed gas providing a respective energy value with which to determine a total energy value for the flow of mixed gas:
a. selecting an existing component of the distribution system to define a measuring chamber;
b. adapting the measuring chamber with an ultrasound sensor to generate a wave signal in the flow for transmission perpendicularly to the flow;
c. determining a distance traveled of the wave signal generated and detected by the ultrasound sensor; and
d. configuring a processing unit to determine and present at least one of a speed of sound of a mixed gas flowing in the measuring chamber or data determined from the speed of sound to determine the total energy value of the mixed gas at the existing component.
