Model / Heat as a Service
Heat as a Service.
Zero upfront cost.
GI Group modernizes outdated heating infrastructure without asking the public institution to fund the project upfront. GI finances and installs the on-site heating asset, owns it, and remains responsible for operation and maintenance. The customer receives useful heat and pays a fixed heating fee under a long-term contract. Asset ownership, operating responsibility and contracted cash flow stay with GI.
One building. Two connected flows.
One system, one owner-operator, one fixed fee. The physical flow of heat and the business flow of the contract stay visible in the same diagram.
Stage 1 planned. GI’s own pellet-production facility is a future objective, not current operating capacity. This diagram explains the business-model design.

02 / From assessment to service
How the model works.
A building-specific scope. One infrastructure owner. A long-term heating service.
Scope the building
Existing heating infrastructure and building condition are assessed. The approved scope may include heating equipment, windows, roof or building-envelope insulation, and related efficiency work. Every project is scoped to need; not every building requires every component.
GI finances the conversion
GI finances the on-site asset and approved retrofit scope. The customer does not fund the new GI-financed infrastructure upfront.
Install the on-site asset
The new heating infrastructure is installed at the customer building. For the first ten installations, GI’s core team is on site. After the installation blueprint is proven, execution transfers to qualified local crews under GI supervision.
Operate and maintain
GI remains responsible for operation and maintenance over the contract term. The operating model includes monitoring, maintenance, operational support and customer training where relevant. Monitoring and metering capability forms part of the business plan.
The customer pays for heat
The customer pays the agreed fixed heating fee. GI retains the heating asset and the contractual revenue stream.

03 / Ownership & responsibility
The client buys heat.
GI owns the infrastructure.
The public institution is not asked to become the investor or operator of the new heating asset. GI assumes that infrastructure role. One building, two sides of the contract.
Customer
A heating service, without upfront infrastructure investment.
- Receives useful heat and a modernized heating service
- Pays the fixed heating fee under the contract
- Relies on GI for operation and maintenance
- Has one long-term service relationship
GI Group
Asset ownership and operating responsibility.
- Finances the project and owns the heating asset
- Operates and maintains the installation
- Manages the fuel and supply layer
- Receives the contracted heating fee and retains the long-duration cash flow
04 / Building-specific scope
More than a boiler replacement.
The right scope depends on the condition of the building and its heating infrastructure.
Municipalities and public institutions
The model is designed for schools, kindergartens, courts, hospitals, administrative buildings and other qualifying public buildings.
What a project may include
- Biomass / pellet heating equipment
- Boiler-room modernization
- Windows
- Roof insulation
- Building-envelope insulation
- Related energy-efficiency work
Scope varies by building. The economic model uses €26,500 as an average / representative project investment, not a fixed price. Actual projects may be materially smaller or larger.
Explore the project economics05 / Behind the service
Several operating layers.
One customer relationship.
GI coordinates the infrastructure behind the service. Vertical integration of fuel supply is part of that design.
- Fuel Stage 1 planned
- Stage 1 is designed to establish GI’s pellet-production capability in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The factory does not exist yet. It is an intended fuel-supply layer, not current operating capacity.
- Storage & logistics
- Fuel must be stored, scheduled and delivered to each operating asset as required.
- Installation
- The first installations establish a repeatable blueprint. Qualified local crews then execute under GI supervision.
- Monitoring
- The planned monitoring and metering layer is intended to identify performance issues and support maintenance.
- Maintenance
- GI remains responsible for the heating asset throughout the long-term contract, including maintenance and operational support.
06 / Contract structure
A 25-year relationship.
The service and the fee move in opposite directions. Ownership and operating responsibility remain with GI.

This is the contract and operating model. Planned infrastructure and future installations should not be read as current traction.
