Be Smart Eco with Energa Group The highly-developed countries are turning to Smart Eco – ecological, effective and economical energy. This trend is well reflected in the Energa Group’s new Smart Eco product line, which will enable Polish users to tap this low-cost and environment‑friendly energy.
Smart Eco Auditing – a good beginning In its bid to meet customer needs Energa Group has introduced two advanced services – an Energy Certificate and Energy Auditing. Energy saving is possible in most buildings that serve office, service, production and housing purposes. The first step in this direction entails precise knowledge as to the amount of energy needed to heat a given facility, the required amount of hot water, ventilation and air-conditioning conditions – and, in the case of public buildings, lighting. This data is contained in Energy Certificates with whose help users can specify their annual energy needs. As in other EU countries, Energy Certificates are obligatory for public, service and housing facilities in Poland. Energy Audits help raise energy efficiency. These professional audits analyse selected aspects of an organisation to identify areas in which energy efficiency can be improved. Energy Audits also suggest solutions, including their profitability and the probable time needed for their costs to be recouped. In Energa Group energy audits the scope of the service is agreed on in consultation with customers.
Smart Eco Management – monitoring and managing energy usage Among Energa Group’s Smart Eco products is Actual Settlements enabling users to control energy consumption through meter readings. Web users can send in monthly meter readings via eBOK customer service. Customers wishing to make their settlements personally can use the VIATM – Moje Rachunki (My Accounts) network upon informing the cashier about their meter readout. Another Smart Eco Management service is PrePaid Settlements. Here special meters are installed in the customer’s location, which work similarly to pre-paid mobile phones. This system allows clients to purchase the energy they need and is especially recommended to tenants. Energa Group also offers attractive payment options for the PrePaid service, including small monthly rates.
