Revenue model
- ESCO Projects: Rudan, as an ESCO (Energy Service Company) company, invests its own financial resources, labor, and technology into energy efficiency projects for clients. Payment is collected exclusively from the portion of savings achieved. The company bears the investment risk and uses bank guarantees as collateral for savings outcomes. This is a performance-based, outcome-driven revenue model where ROI is achieved through sustained energy cost reductions over the contract period (typically 14 years).
- Energy Management Services and Software (Energo Monitor, Aquacontrol): Recurring revenue from the implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of energy management software systems (Energo Monitor 4, Aquacontrol). Services include consulting, ISO 50001 implementation, and continuous monitoring of energy and water consumption.
- Complete Energy Renovation Projects: Comprehensive energy renovation services including architectural, thermal, HVAC, electrical, lighting, and renewable energy system upgrades. Pricing based on individually tailored proposals; services outside the scope of a proposal are separately contracted. Revenue is one-time per project, but the company maintains ongoing maintenance relationships.
- Technical Facility Management and Maintenance: Technical building management including leak detection, water system optimization, plumbing maintenance, and continuous object monitoring for industrial, tourism, and water utility clients. Ongoing service relationships with long-term clients.
- Tourism Operations: Revenue from hotel and camp accommodations across continental and Mediterranean Croatia. Properties include Terme Jezerčica, Hotel Adria, Hotel Punta, Villa Arausana, Villa Radin, Hotel Pagus, Hotel La Luna, Kamp Almissa, Hotel Angelo d'Oro, Pine Beach, Hotel Nestos, Terra Park Phalaris, Terra Park SpiritoS, and Sagitta Resort. Bookings via direct websites, booking platforms, and third-party OTAs.
