New year, new beginnings – or what was it again? We at HögforsGST want to start the year with a promise to advance our shared cause of wiser energy use. We also have ideas to share with others. Are you ready to join us?
The efficient use of energy is a very current issue, and it is widely discussed nowadays. The good news is that we all have opportunities to make wiser decisions regarding energy use. As we already are developers of wiser energy solutions, we obviously have a head start.
Still, we don’t want to just rest on our laurels and be satisfied with what already exists. We’re now making a promise to continue developing, optimizing, and offering solutions for wiser energy use. It comes to us naturally, and we have plenty of experience in it.
However, wiser energy solutions are a truly shared cause. If you want to do your part, we have ideas for you.
What can you do for wiser energy use
As an HVAC designer
Whether you’re already our partner HVAC designer or not, you can guide your clients toward wiser energy solutions as a designer. For example, you could recommend low-carbon solutions for your projects. Discuss whether hybrid heating would be a suitable solution for the construction or renovation project. Other options you might want to recommend include smart solutions for energy saving and optimization – power limitation is an easy way to make a site’s heating system wiser, which translates to a lower heating bill.
By ensuring your expertise is up-to-date, you will always be able to offer your clients with as current and wise consultation as possible on energy solutions.
As a contractor
These certainly are challenging times for contractors. It is a time when expertise plays a bigger role than it usually does. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of what’s happening in the energy solution sector and be well-informed of the possibilities. That way, you can always recommend the best possible solution to your clients in energy renovation projects, including its benefits.
As a property manager
As a property manager, you can ensure your properties’ energy renovations are done on time and at the very least, they won’t end up in the maintenance backlog. You can also stay ahead of the curve regarding upcoming energy renovation projects and get up to speed, e.g., with modern, wise, and energy-efficient hybrid heating. By sharing this information in the properties you manage, the boards can make wiser decisions on nearing energy renovation projects.
There are also smaller but effective ways to decrease the energy costs in the properties you manage. For instance, when a substation is nearing the end of its technical lifespan at 20–25 years, it pays to get acquainted with modern substation solutions. Your property might, for example, leverage smart control and other modern features to gain nice savings with only a minor investment.
As a constructor
Your main goal is gaining an A energy classification on your sites. Therefore, you would do well to get to know the lay of the land regarding hybrid heating solutions, if it happens that you haven’t recently done so. We’re firm believers in hybrid heating being one of the wisest heating solutions that can be chosen for new construction in terms of energy efficiency and wiser energy use.
Additionally, you might want to consider getting to know modern substations and the possibilities they offer: smart control systems and other technical innovations, such as the Mid-Cooling Connection, offer plenty of advantages with only small investments.
As an energy company professional
Energy companies are on the verge of a disruption as customers don’t want just energy – they want service. The market has gone through a depression, but now the ground is ripe for launching new service models.
As an energy company professional, make it a project of yours to think about how we could combine the energy you produce and the property-specific equipment into a service concept that is easy to take up. Hybrid heating is in and of itself a wise solution – let us invent a wise way of spreading its joy to our customers as well.
Consider this: You could offer smart substations and hybrid heating as a service, where the energy company provides the project as a turnkey solution that benefits both the end user and yourself. The end user gets their energy issues sorted quickly and reliably, while the energy company commits to cooperating with their clients and customers while gaining a better opportunity to optimize their client properties’ operations to be more energy efficient.
Are you ready to use energy wisely?
We are ready, and we’re already doing it. Now we’ve handed you some keys so you can do the same. We’re happy to cooperate with you and help you along the way. We genuinely believe this is a shared cause – we’re holding out our hand for you to grab it and work together to take action toward energy being used more wisely.
