Cooling cost allocation leads to more development in the region
by Techem Energy Services on Saturday, 21 March 2009
Techem Energy Services looks at the benefits of measurement and management in controlling energy consumption.
A common way of billing the cooling energy consumption in the Middle East is to divide the energy costs of the whole building by the total sellable area, and add the same to the service charge.
This kind of cost allocation results in indifferent energy consumption behaviour, because the individual user doesn’t have any influence on the consumption of his neighbour.
In addition, it does not motivate the user to save energy as there are no financial benefits and it does not reduce the individual energy bill. Under the consideration that the world’s natural resources are becoming scarcer and more precious, people need to be more sensitive to the cost of energy and water, which is a noticeable issue in the real estate market.
By providing a full range of equipment and services suitable for the region’s consumption-based metering and billing needs, Techem Energy Services allows controlled energy measurements which enable efficient use of energy leading to an increase in savings and reduced environment impact.
If people pay only for their own consumption they will use energy more carefully. Techem supplies the suitable infrastructure for this purpose, with recording metering devices and an intelligent billing system.
The real estate market is exposed to hard competition. In times like this the professionalism of a facilities management company is characterised through the provision of innovative products and modern services.
Techem Energy Services provides a wide range of products and services to optimise the consumption of energy and increase the satisfaction of residents and home owners, while minimising the capital investment for the developer.
