Description: Specialised in reducing the consumption of energy & resources and therefore increasing the value of a property, by respecting the need to maintain micro-technical equipment of daily use. In other words: Any technical installation needs preventive maintenance to avoid premature repairs or breakdown. This goes also for all micro-technical installations in any kind of real estate. Micro-technical installations being hinges, handles and locks of doors, windows and cupboards, flushing mechanism, plumbing in general, etc! Compared to macro-installations like heating, insulation and lighting this preventive maintenance through cleaning, greasing and adjusting has been neglected so far, despite their high-frequency usage and therefore wear.

Why I love this solution: Every type of building of minimal technical complexity needs maintenance in one way or the other... Given the sheer amount of buildings around the globe, combined with the non-existing micro-technical preventive maintenance of these, the potential to save energy and resources is just huge! And the best is, the preventive maintenance itself can be done in one efficient visit, needs only very few tools, lubricant and time to make a difference.
