Helping residents cut fuel bills and carbon emissions

Residents at Croydon’s City House apartments are benefiting from affordable, lower-carbon heating and hot water thanks to advanced metering technology supplied by sustainable energy company ENER-G Switch2.

The company is operating energy-efficient intelligent metering for electricity, heating and hot water; system administration and an individualised billing service at the 319 unit residential and commercial complex, which was developed and is operated by Fairview New Homes.

This is the first time that ENER-G Switch2 has worked with Fairview, and energy-saving projects at two other Fairview developments are also in the pipeline.

Fairview specialises in developing brownfield sites and derelict land to create attractive living environments. City House combines a mixture of privately owned, socially tenanted and shared ownership apartments and studios, and the development generates its own energy from wind turbines.

Metering technology from ENER-G Switch 2 gives residents affordable and controllable warmth while creating environmental benefits through greater energy efficiency and carbon savings.

The company is one of the UK's biggest suppliers of metering and billing technologies and services for multi-tenancy buildings.

Yorkshire-based ENER-G Switch2 has evolved from a metering and maintenance operation, predominantly for local authority clients operating large district heating schemes, into total energy service provision.

Its services include the design, installation and maintenance of green communal energy schemes for public and private sector clients. Among its customers are: Berkeley Homes, Hyde Housing Association and Gentoo, as well as numerous local authorities, registered social landlords and public and private sector organisations.
