This kind of comment has been heard multiple times when discussing energy efficiency in a customer’s property.
Often, the understanding of energy efficiency projects is narrow, and people often only think of solar panels and geothermal heating. However, energy efficiency projects are not just individual measures; they form a whole, where the different parts support each other and enhance the overall operation of the property.
For energy efficiency projects, the property must always be thoroughly assessed to determine when, where, and why energy is being consumed. Based on this information, a solution best suited to the property and the customer can be tailored, considering all necessary technical aspects. The goal of the project is not only to reduce costs through individual measures but also to cut unnecessary energy consumption.
New systems are often oversized when the property’s energy flows haven’t been reviewed, and unnecessary energy drains haven’t been eliminated first. Such over-sizing can significantly increase project costs.
✅ The outcome of an energy efficiency project based on a thorough assessment:
- The best solution for the property
- Achieving the property owners’ goals
- More efficient systems
- Lower investment costs
- Reduced energy consumption and lower CO₂ emissions
- Increased property value
