MEC METRO-ECE Centermanagement GmbH & Co. KG now offers its own energy audit for retail parks and shopping centers. With its new energy audit product EASY (Energy Audit System), MEC is reacting to the corresponding demand from investors and owners. EASY investigates the energy consumption of a retail real estate property, makes specific recommendations for sustainable potential savings, and also implements the recommendations.<\/p>\n
With Technical Property Manager Rainer K\u00f6psell, MEC now has a T\u00dcV-certified Energy Auditor in its ranks. The subject of energy optimisation is part of his everyday work, meaning that K\u00f6psell's many years of experience allow him to precisely identify wasteful energy consumers in retail real estate. \"Significant cost savings can often be made simply by optimising work processes and raising awareness amongst employees, without investing a cent,\" he explains. Only through analysis and inspection can the energy efficiency of retail real estate be improved.<\/p>\n
EASY is a three-step model<\/b>
\n<\/strong>1. Energy assessment<\/em>
\n<\/em>Initially, all energy-relevant facilities are determined and recorded. Subsequently, a rough assessment and appraisal of the technical status of the facilities is performed. The summary report identifies deficiencies and provides recommendations for action to optimise operational procedures or for investments. There is additionally the option of installing a data recording system, which is generally cost-neutral, and which offers total transparency in energy consumption.<\/p>\n
