What is public energy consumption?

Energy consumption of water, electricity, coal, etc. Components, equipment and facilities used in community and public services are called public energy consumption, and the resulting expenses are called public energy consumption.

Generally speaking, public energy consumption in property management includes three aspects:

First, the cost of electricity and energy.

Mainly refers to: electricity for public lighting, public elevators, public pumps, fire-fighting equipment and facilities, security monitoring equipment, greening facilities, buildings and residential quarters, and community broadcasting.

Two, water and energy costs (including public sewage charges)

Mainly refers to: cleaning water, greening water, residential water landscape (including fountains), fire water, public toilet water, etc.

Third, the cost of heating (air conditioning)

Mainly refers to the cost of heating and central air conditioning in public areas such as lobby and elevator hall. Generally, this energy consumption is mainly in commercial property projects. In some high-end residential quarters, heating will be installed in the public lobby or waiting hall in winter (mainly to prevent the temperature in public areas from being too low in winter, freezing public facilities and freezing water supply and drainage pipes).

Public energy consumption charge

In most areas, "public energy consumption" and "property fee" are two different independent charging items, which belong to an agency service fee, that is to say, "public energy consumption" is not included in the "property fee" and needs to be paid by the owner separately. According to the local price department, property management companies can charge agency service fees such as "public energy consumption", but they need to keep separate accounts, share them reasonably and publicize them to the owners regularly.

Visible, public * * * energy consumption should be truthfully charged, and regularly publicized. It is illegal for some properties to charge a fixed amount of public energy consumption every year. Owners should actively safeguard their rights and require the property to publicize relevant information.
