The consumption data is transmitted wirelessly directly from the building to our system. On-site meter reading is no longer necessary. Additional information, such as energy costs, can be easily entered in the online portal. Step-by-step explanation You can find this information on our website. All data is first checked for plausibility. Afterwards, we divide the total costs of the heating system.

CO₂ costs are shared between landlords and tenants based on the building's energy efficiency. The better the energy efficiency, the higher the tenants' share can be. The necessary data is collected annually, and the classification is calculated automatically. The tenants' share is then distributed via the heating bill.

A heating bill cannot be calculated immediately based on an interim meter reading. This requires the fuel and utility costs for the entire year for the property, as well as complete meter readings for all apartments. Therefore, a bill for a departing tenant can only be prepared with the next complete bill for the entire building. However, the landlord is entitled to request a reasonable advance payment from the departing tenant.

When moving into a new apartment, an interim meter reading can be taken under certain conditions to divide the consumption between the previous and new occupants. Alternatively, the costs can be divided based on heating degree days. Due to the technical characteristics of evaporative heat cost allocators, a division based on heating degree days is always recommended. If you would like an interim meter reading, please contact your landlord/property manager, who will then commission the responsible Brunata Minol branch or the Brunata Minol customer service office. During interim meter readings, the ampoules in evaporative heat cost allocators are not replaced; only the consumption units are recorded.

For larger radiators, two heat cost allocators are often used due to the uneven heat distribution. Despite the use of two allocators, heating costs are not calculated twice. This is because, in such cases, the assessment of the radiator's heating output is only weighted equally for each heat cost allocator. Thus, the overall assessment (the sum of both assessment factors) again corresponds to the actual heating output of the radiator.
