The Heat law

You have probably heard of it: the Heat law. The law was enacted in 2014; this is a complex piece of legislation addressing the manifold interests of the various parties. Simply put: since 2014 it is legally required to meter energy consumption at the individual household level in complexes with a common energy supply. Whereas previously all costs were simply divided equally among all residents, now the actual costs incurred per dwelling are passed on.

This is a much fairer approach, as why should an energy-efficient resident be required to support a resident in the same complex who runs the heating 24/7 at 24 degrees Celsius? Now you pay for what you use, however the costs for the common energy use are borne by all residents.
