Now even more public housing will (maybe) benefit from LAGUR

Chemical-free and environmentally friendly LAGUR -systems have already been installed in a large number of public housing developments, and now a majority in the Danish Parliament has agreed to energy renovate Danish public housing for 30 billion kroner in the coming years.

Renovation of public housing

During the corona crisis, a broad majority in the Danish Parliament has agreed to renovate public housing in Denmark for 30.2 billion kroner.

This could pave the way for even more public housing associations and their residents to benefit from it. chemical-free LAGUR -plant and its positive effects on the climate, environment and wallet, because it reduces the need for cleaning agents and energy for water treatment, among other things.

The money is raised from the so-called Landsbyggefond, which tenants pay into through their rent, and which is used to renovate public housing. Projects worth 18.4 billion kroner have already been approved. They are now being brought forward to 2020 and 2021.

When Housing Minister Kaare Dybvad presented the agreement, he referred to it as the largest and greenest investment in the public housing sector ever.

A total of 72,000 homes are set to be renovated in the first wave over the next year and a half. The renovations are expected to lead to energy savings equivalent to 47,000 tons of CO2.

chemical-free water treatment IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE

IN LAGUR We are not only pleased about the good news because we may be allowed to contribute to some of the projects. We also welcome the agreement because energy renovation is good for the environment, the non-profit housing associations and the residents, who will have a healthier home with lower consumption costs.

IN LAGUR We are passionate about offering Denmark chemical-free and environmentally friendly water treatment that both makes it easier to keep your home free of limescale problems and at the same time maintains the good, healthy, Danish water quality , because the lime in the water is preserved - not as crystals that stick to surfaces and in installations, but as granules that protect installations and are easy to wipe away.

Many tenants in non-profit housing associations already enjoy these benefits. Today, there are installed LAGUR -systems in a number of Danish non-profit housing associations, and more are added all the time.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BECOME EASIER

Their feedback to us is often about: LAGUR has made everyday life easier for those responsible for operation and maintenance.

There are fewer limescale problems in plumbing installations, fewer burst pipes, and the water runs more smoothly in the pipes because LAGUR they counteract limescale -plugs that have previously caused turbulence in the pipe.

We also hear that after the installation of the LAGUR need to spend much less time cleaning hot water tanks, replacing toilets, pipes and faucets and whatever other service work there may be.

Inside the tenants, there is less wear and tear on the cistern, and tiles and fixtures are easier to clean – as if it were lime-free water.

Public housing associations are particularly feeling the effect of their LAGUR -installations on move-in apartments, as LAGUR reduces renovation costs when a resident moves out and a new one moves in.

SHORT PAYBACK – LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

LAGUR consists of a half-meter pipe that is installed after the main water meter and connected to a control unit , which only uses about 1 kW per day, equivalent to about 2.50 kroner.

The payback period on a LAGUR -installations for non-profit housing associations are typically less than one year.

In return, the environment and nature benefit from the investment in LAGUR for the entire lifetime of the chemical- and maintenance-free plant.
