Current experience in this area indicates that people have one common similarity and that is, when the tenant is given control over individual energy consumption, it goes down. With individual measuring and debiting, both heating and water consumption are normally reduced by 10 to 30 percent.
Individual specific measuring and debiting for apartments not only gives a more fair burden-sharing of the costs in multi - story households, this method also provides significant opportunities to save energy. The result not only noticeably decreases costs but it also reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Altero has developed an apartment system that measures the consumption of electricity, hot and cold water and also the heating of apartments in multi - story households.
This system can also be used for the monitoring of different type of alarms, such as damp, fire and emergency attendance alarms. The system can even be used for controlling, for example, electric engine pre-heaters and communication with tenants.
Altero´s apartment system is marketed by TAC Sweden as part of the concept TAC Home.
