EPC - ENERGY PERFORMANCE CONTRACTING

EPC (Energy Performance Contracting) znamená energetické služby pro vás se zárukou.

• Long-term reduction of energy consumption and other operating costs
• The contractor will guarantee the success of the project. This means achieving the contractual savings and return on the investment
• The contractor and investor are both motivated by significant savings and return of adequate investment
• Unlike other investor-contractor relationships the contractor is not motivated by an increase of the investment costs
• The complete project is implemented by one contractor:
  • The Contractor develops the technical project documentation
  • The Contractor installs the agreed measures
  • The Contractor ensures project funding (if it is relevant)
  • The Contractor guarantees the level of achieved savings
  • The Contractor implements energy management instrumentation (on-line monitoring of the energy consumption; energy usage is under control and it is therefore possible to manage it)
• Improving the quality of the environment
