Sweden — Swedish property company Heba has reported a surplus ratio of 77 percent for the third quarter, a level few property companies can match. The improvement reflects several years of work to streamline operations, reduce energy consumption and digitalise property management. The company is now bringing these initiatives together under a new business model, known as the Heba Model.<br /> Chief executive Patrik Emanuelsson also sees further opportunities to cut costs through digital water monitoring and AI-assisted analysis.<br /> “We have continuously asked ourselves how we can make something that is already good even better,” says Emanuelsson.
