Understanding the building

Eurobuild CEE

Many commercial buildings today operate using technologies that generate unnecessary costs and increase energy-related risks. Instead of simple, ad-hoc upgrades, a tailored approach based on audits, data, and a real return on the investment is gaining importance. What does such an approach look like in practice? Piotr Miodek, the vice-president of the Kabar Group, tells us all about this.
