We handle everything – from management and customer contact to technical and financial processes – so you can focus on your core activities.
Organizations often face significant challenges in managing and maintaining the performance of collective or sustainable energy systems. These challenges arise from a lack of internal technical, financial, or administrative capacity, the increasing complexity of energy infrastructure and regulations, and the constant need to balance efficiency with satisfaction. Without specialized expertise, systems can become inefficient, costly, and unreliable, leading to financial risks and frequent complaints.
Professional management through istaDES combines all crucial tasks into one comprehensive service. From technical and financial management to contract administration, advance billing, settlements, customer contact, and smart consumption monitoring, this integrated approach enhances performance, reduces costs, extends system lifespan, and increases transparency. For property managers, this means greater efficiency and compliance assurance, while residents benefit from convenience and reliable service.

istaDES collaborates with an independent heat supplier for the B2C model. For the B2B model, via an ESCO, ista partners with reputable companies. This provides flexibility in choosing how to bill your residents for heat consumption, in accordance with rental law or the Heat Act. In consultation with you, the heat supplier, and ista, the annual heat rates are determined. This ensures residents do not overpay and gives you the opportunity to invest in sustainability measures.
The services we provide to housing corporations and property managers relieve you of the operational burden of sustainable heating systems. This allows you to focus on your core activity: renting out properties. By combining our services with collaboration with the heat supplier, we stand out from other heating companies. Our expertise lies in the technical and financial management of the heating system and in ensuring the correct allocation of operational costs between the housing corporation and residents.

The istaDES service is built and developed based on the needs and demands of the market. Over the past years, much has changed. The types of installations are evolving, metering systems are becoming smarter, and data collection is increasingly important. Climate protection and related measures are playing a growing role. All of these factors mean that our market segment—and especially our clients—now demand higher standards of quality and service across the board.
istaDES supports and relieves you in all aspects of heat management through specialized expertise in increasingly complex installations. From technical management to improving financial performance, and from customer service to the legal aspects of collective energy systems, we provide comprehensive support.
The technical management of your (sustainable) energy system is in good hands with istaDES. Whether it involves assessing and monitoring energy performance (using the ReduQ energy monitoring tool), preventive maintenance, or handling faults, we work closely with your installer to map your energy system thoroughly and determine its technical efficiency.
We also provide a long-term perspective on maintaining your energy system. Your installer handles complaints and faults, while istaDES continuously oversees the process. The technical manager from istaDES acts as a full partner for the installer. Technical performance is periodically reviewed and discussed with the client, and advice is provided to improve the system’s technical efficiency.
We handle all contractual matters for energy consumers, ensuring agreements are clear, fair, and sustainable.
istaDES also handles cash management for you, from collecting advance payments from residents and paying the energy supplier to settling accounts with your residents.
Through the ReduQ energy monitoring tool, you gain full insight into your energy system’s performance. Your residents have access to the Mijn.ista monitoring tool to track their energy consumption.
For questions, complaints, or faults, we respond to your residents quickly and professionally, providing personal attention and ensuring their concerns are taken seriously.
Before managing the collective system, istaDES determines its status through data import. The (collective) system must meet certain criteria before management can be taken over. After completing the data import phase, you will receive an import report for each location.
Any defects or deficiencies identified during the data import must be addressed. The supervision and execution of this cleanup are managed by istaDES.
After completing phases 1 and 2, the management phase begins. During this phase, the financial and technical performance of the energy system is assessed. If performance is insufficient, istaDES provides advice on potential improvements to enhance system efficiency.

Professional management of energy systems, such as block and district heating, increases financial returns, provides insight into the Multi-Year Maintenance Plan (MJOP), and ensures resident satisfaction. By fully outsourcing monitoring, customer service, and individual billing, housing corporations and property managers no longer need to oversee the system themselves. This saves costs, improves efficiency, and eliminates the need to constantly invest in specialized knowledge to keep up with changing regulations. As a result, the demand for expert management is growing rapidly.
istaDES has a unique telephone number with a menu option for each customer, which residents can call in the event of malfunctions (24-hour service) and technical questions. Residents are then connected directly to the maintenance provider. We respect every ongoing partnership. Residents can also call this unique number for questions about energy consumption, billing, advance payments and monitoring. These questions are answered by an ista Netherlands employee, who is managed by istaDES. All incoming questions are recorded and discussed with you in a quarterly or annual report. If necessary, and in consultation with you, actions will be taken. We will be happy to discuss with you how we can further tailor our services to your needs.

The client only needs to report when a property changes hands; istaDES takes care of the rest, in collaboration with ista Nederland.
