AI cloud platform for optimizing building energy efficiency
About aedifion
aedifion GmbH is a property technology (PropTech) company that provides a cloud-based platform for the digital optimization of commercial buildings. The company was founded in September 2017 as a spin-off from a research project at RWTH Aachen University by Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fütterer (CEO), Felix Dorner (CFO), Dr. Jan Henrik Ziegeldorf (CTO), and Erik Brümmendorf. The founders combined their expertise in engineering and information technology to address energy inefficiency in building operations.
Read full description
The core of aedifion's offering is its AI-powered cloud platform, which connects to a building's existing technical systems, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), through a plug-and-play Edge Device. The platform collects and analyzes operational data in real-time to identify inefficiencies, detect faults, and provide recommendations for optimization. It can also autonomously control building systems, taking into account predictive factors like weather forecasts and building usage patterns to reduce energy consumption and operating costs by up to 40%. The company's business model is based on a monthly software-as-a-service (SaaS) license fee. This allows clients, which include asset managers, facility managers, property owners, and developers, to improve building sustainability and achieve ESG compliance without significant capital expenditure.
Since its inception, aedifion has achieved significant growth, expanding its operations to manage nearly 500 buildings across several European countries, the UK, and the US. The company has successfully raised capital through multiple funding rounds, including a €12 million Series A in January 2023 and a €17 million Series B in June 2025. These funds are being used to accelerate European and international expansion, as well as to enhance its technology, with a focus on AI-driven energy management, load optimization, and the development of a generative AI-powered virtual building assistant.
