CONVIBA - What is Energy Performance Contracting?

Energy Performance Contracting is a method to implement energy saving measures. At this method a private enterprise - a so called “Contractor” – conducts planning, pre-financing, implementation, maintenance and monitoring of the measures during the contracting period (usually between 5 and 12 years). The Contractor guarantees minimum energy cost savings and receives a yearly rate resulting from the actual energy cost savings to cover its investments.

• The building owner does not need capital resources or to take out a loan
• Planning, financing, implementing and maintenance from one source – the Contractor
• The Contractor has self interest to optimised energy cost saving results.
