Introduction to the Expense statement generation tool

Other fees and subscriptions are costs related to the operation of a Site (building) that must be distributed among the site Residents.

Generally, these are mainly heating costs (Room heating/apartments and Hot water production).

However, other so-called "Ancillary costs" can also be distributed. These include, for example, electricity costs for the building's common areas, caretaking fees, elevator maintenance costs, etc.

These costs are defined in the lease agreement or in the co-ownership regulations (PPE).

The distribution method is defined in the model for individual energy and water cost billing (DIFEE) published in 2017 by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE).

When thermal energy and Hot water meters are installed, heating costs are distributed with a variable share of 70% (based on the individual consumption of Residents) and a fixed share of 30% (based on the Surface area of the apartments or shares in thousandths in the co-ownership).

Ancillary costs are distributed according to the Surface area of the apartments or the shares in thousandths in the co-ownership. This is also the case for heating costs when no meter is installed, as is the case in older buildings.

The type and number of meters installed in the building therefore have an impact on how the Expense statements are generated. See Connecting meters.
