From an HVAC perspective, vertical residential buildings don’t look much different from the other buildings that we maintain and service. They have large central plants for boilers and chillers with distributed air and hydronic systems bringing tenant comfort to the occupants. There are two very important distinctions, however, first is the fact that multi-residential clients have occupants that call the building HOME and this means that the building and its “works” have an emotional attachment for the occupants that commercial occupancies do not have (not to the same extent).
The second is on the management side and managements’ ability to run the building. In the commercial world, the landlord structures the leases with a cost plus TMI or some form of this. This permits the landlord to recover any operational cost overrun directly from the tenants. The multi-res landlord cannot do this. All operational funds that the multi-res landlord receives come in the form of rent on a monthly basis. There is no cost recovery.
The multi-res manager must be VERY diligent and cost conscious. Climatech inc. is well positioned to work in this sector. Our business is built on helping maintain and service equipment of the long haul. When we do what we are paid to do, many good things happen. The energy efficiency is better and the equipment lasts longer. We have many multi-residential clients. This is an important part of our business and one that we will continue to expand.
