Energy Cost Accounting Service
Professional energy cost accounting service: heat accounting services, heating bills and condominium expense allocation
Practical guide for apartment owners
Transparent accounting brings long-term benefits: by declaring metered heating and water costs, each person pays only for the resources consumed.
Devices are installed in a flat to measure the energy consumed for heating and, if applicable, the supply of hot water. In this way, costs incurred are not divided up arbitrarily based on the surface area occupied, but are allocated based on the actual energy consumed by each flat. Low consumption equals a lower bill, whilst higher consumption will result in a higher bill. A practice that is not only fair, it is also very effective: it has been proven that energy consumption rates are reduced when users are charged for what they have actually used.
You will therefore receive an annual summary of the heating costs, clearly specifying the allocation of individual consumption values.
Fair allocation of the heating costs is not a simple matter, as a number of factors must be taken into account. The calculation model defined by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) explains how to proceed with this allocation. Our calculations comply with these compulsory provisions and the model here below explains the various items that you will find on the bill.

This document is for information and should be used to communicate any changes to the keeper. In this case please indicate the new address of the keeper next to the old one and send us the sheet. Return the sheet only in case of change in address of the keeper. One to two weeks prior to reading you and the guardian will receive the final reporting of the visit.
