The goal of Sponda’s energy efficiency scheme, launched in 2009, is to work together with customers to reduce the energy consumption of properties. The scheme’s objective is to identify potential areas for saving energy in collaboration with the users of properties.

At the beginning of the energy efficiency scheme, an energy review is carried out at the properties, to find out the energy consumption of each property and to examine the different technical systems relating to energy usage.

Energy efficiency goals and measures for achieving them are set individually for each property based on the results of the energy review. The impact of the measures and how well targets are being met are monitored in regular meetings with customers. The costs saved through the scheme will be re-invested in the property.

The energy efficiency scheme began in ten properties of different ages and types. In 2010, the scheme was extended so that by the end of the year, altogether 84 Sponda-owned properties were at different phases of the scheme. In 2011, the energy efficiency scheme will be continued for the properties included either by mapping the situation, carrying out measures or monitoring consumption according to the action plan defined for the property in question.

In 2010, Sponda’s energy efficiency scheme extended to Russia, where energy consumption of properties was mapped. In 2011, the information gathered will be analysed and properties will be set energy efficiency goals and measures to decrease energy consumption.
