They will be able to monitor, see the transparency of all operating fees, savings for capital repairs, control the processes of management companies, due to the instrumentation in the republic, will be able to see how much energy they consume. In addition, they can also leave their comments here. This system will make the entire housing and communal infrastructure of the republic ‘smart.’ It is not only a smart house, a smart city, a smart country, it is a global project," Nursultan Dzhienbayev said.
