VVO SAVES 1,550,000 CUBIC METRES OF WATER A YEAR<\/h1>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\r\n

At the same time VVO reduced its CO2 emissions by 5,000,000 kg a year. <\/span><\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_column_text]\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]\r\n

ANNUAL SAVINGS AMOUNT TO 7.7 MILLION EUROS!<\/h3>\r\nVVO Group plc, Finland\u00b4s largest private-sector landlord, is a pioneer in energy-efficient living, making it the perfect partner for Energo. The company has sought to reduce unnecessary water consumption in all its rental buildings by applying the principle of best available technologies (BAT), i.e. solutions that have been proven effective in practice and that are economical, ecological, long-lasting and environmentally friendly.\r\n\r\nVVO\u2019s has taken a proactive approach, introducing its policy of energy-efficient living years before the voluntary AESS and VAETS energy conservation agreements were introduced for Finnish construction and real estate companies. VVO also played an active role in drafting these agreements.\r\n\r\nEnergo began working with VVO in 1998. The scale of the cooperation was enormous, as VVO has over 40,000 rental apartments in nearly 50 locations throughout Finland. Its buildings comprise over 10 million cubic metres, representing approximately 1.4 percent of the entire volume of residential buildings in Finland.\r\n\r\nThe pilot project with VVO began with Flush Guard and was later expanded to include modernisation of water systems, constant flow solutions and systematic maintenance. The results of the project have been monitored closely from the start, allowing Energo to further develop the Smart Water programme and make it even more cost effective.\r\n\r\nThe successful cooperation between VVO and Energo is illustrated by a comment made by one of VVO\u2019s representatives: \u201cEnergy conservation week is once a year, but for us it\u2019s every day!\u201d\r\n

RESULTS OF THE VVO PROJECT<\/h3>\r\nThe results compare the original levels with the current levels following the modernisation of water systems, introduction of constant flow solutions and systematic maintenance as supplied by Energo. The figures for water consumption and heating energy demands represent the average for all of VVO\u2019s buildings.\r\n
