Think about energy efficiency already during the planning process

If you are an owner or a tenant of a building, you should invest in learning about making the building as energy-efficient as possible before any construction works. This helps save costs in the future and ensures the well-being of employees. In addition, you will decrease the environmental footprint of your company. The consultation helps you determine the balance point between energy efficiency, a good indoor climate, and your environmental footprint.

An energy efficiency consultation means that an analysis is prepared based on consumption data, which can then be used for deciding how to increase the energy efficiency of a building or rental premises. Forus provides you with the necessary information to consider.

Energy efficiency consultation – how would it benefit me?

A consultation alone does not bring cost savings. Our purpose at Forus is to find the best solutions for you with a short payback period.

Today, we already have many smart and simple solutions for significant cost savings and turning the indoor climate of a building into a pleasant environment for its users that contributes to their well-being.
