Providing assistance in the review expenses was considered important, since other public sources do not support these reviews due to the small size of premises used by SME’s. As a rule, the review expenses are divided so that Regional Council of Kymenlaakso covers 50 % of the costs, and the remainder is divided between the Kotka - Hamina Region of Finland Ltd and the Kouvola Region Federation of Municipalities, and the enterprise itself.
The expenses borne by an individual enterprise vary between FIM 500 and 1250 + value-added tax, depending on the requirements concerning the technical systems used on the premises.
The potential for energy savings has increased significantly as a result of the reviews. The reviews also reveal to an enterprise whether all necessary measures have really been taken so as to minimize energy consumption.
The project is an ideal opportunity for SME’s to obtain an analysis of their premises and to utilize the available know-how in their own operation in a cost-efficient manner.
