Around the world, buildings consume around 40 per cent of global primary energy. Energy costs are one of the biggest cost factors for operating expenses. The greenhouse gases released by consuming energy also make a major contribution to climate change.
We work continuously to reduce the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of our portfolio properties while also improving the customer experience in our buildings.
For many years, Deka Immobilien has prioritised investing in green buildings – buildings developed with a main focus on sustainability and that satisfy high environmental, technical and socio-cultural standards with a focus on well-being.
Seizing optimisation opportunities during regular operation is another important measure for achieving our goals. To do so, we have teamed up with the technology company MeteoViva. The patented MeteoViva Climate smart data solution provides buildings with the right intelligence to maintain a constantly comfortable indoor climate while significantly reducing energy use.
Unlike conventional building control systems, MeteoViva Climate does not simply react to building conditions and external temperatures. Instead, it anticipates future environmental conditions and usage parameters and proactively adjusts the settings. As a result, just the right amount of heating, cooling and fresh air flow into the building interior at the proper time to create a comfortable climate. Use of the innovative smart data solution reduces energy costs by an average of 15 to 45 per cent.
