KUGU sichert sich 8,5 Millionen Euro für die Dekarbonisierung der Immobilienbranche
Make all relevant data available to end users with the KUGU resident app
The industry waited a long time for the decision to amend the Heating Costs Ordinance (HKVO), but it has now been announced by the Federal Government at the beginning of August: Smart metering will become mandatory in all buildings. In accordance with the EU Directive on energy efficiency, the following regulations are now in force:
- Newly installed consumption meters can be read remotely, older meters must be replaced by 2026
- Heating cost statements contain separate information on the fuel mix, taxes, duties and duties as well as comparative values for previous and average consumption
- End users or tenants receive individual billing and consumption information from the owner or administration at least twice a year, from 2022 at least monthly
KUGU is the holistic partner when it comes to individual consumption
Property owners and property managers are now faced with the challenge of complying with these amended regulations. If there is a lack of personnel capacity, time and the appropriate technology, cooperation with an external provider makes more than sense. KUGU is the partner for “digital building management” and, in addition to a web platform for managing energy data and the necessary hardware, also offers a resident app. With that app, landlords provide their end users with exactly the consumption data that is now required by the Heating Costs Ordinance.
The range of services offered by the KUGU resident app at a glance:
- Presentation of individual consumption values for residents
- Provision of statistics, analyses and tips for saving energy
- Mapped in euros or units of consumption
- Availability for Android and iOS
As a partner with a holistic approach, however, the partnership with KUGU means more than a visualization of consumption data. A modular offering enables KUGU to implement the entire process behind the visualization as required — from the procurement of hardware to installation and maintenance of the devices, KUGU ensures simple and comprehensive management of energy data.
Save energy and reduce costs by digitizing consumption data
The benefits of the amendments to the Heating Costs Ordinance and Kugu's solutions are manifold. Since meter readings no longer have to be read manually on site, the error rate during billing is reduced. By digitizing consumption data, consumption can be retrieved at any time, individually and down to the second. The resulting increase in transparency leads to an improved use of energy and the saving of resources by all parties. For example, tenants can reduce their heating costs and landlords optimize personnel capacities and building technology.
Do you have any questions about our resident app or our range of services? We are looking forward to hearing from you!
