We cut consumption and emissions
Most buildings use a lot of unnecessary energy. Ventilation often runs at full capacity, even when the building is empty. With our solution, ventilation is automatically adjusted based on how many people are in the building. You get better air quality and a lower electricity bill, without lifting a finger.
New and old buildings become self-driving, with 20-50% savings on ventilation.
You get a better indoor climate and a full overview of all buildings in one app. The investment is usually paid off in less than 1 year.
Why does it work?
10 out of 10 buildings that we analyze have either flaws or improvement potential. Most ventilation systems are managed by calendar, not by actual need. Ventilation is often working at full capacity, even when there are no people in the building. Energy Control detects the actual needs of the building and controls the facilities automatically.
Easy to get started
We install wireless sensors in a couple of hours and connect these to existing ventilation systems — regardless of supplier or age. We’ll handle the technical side. You just notice the difference in your electricity bill — and a better indoor climate.
We expected 5-6 years of repayment time, but it was less than 2 years

Frequently Asked Questions
What is energy management of commercial buildings?
Energy management of commercial buildings means that you use sensors and data analysis to monitor and control the building’s energy consumption in real time — heating, ventilation, lighting and technical facilities. Instead of running everything on fixed time programs, the building adapts to actual usage. The result is typically 30-50% lower energy consumption without compromising indoor climate or operation.
What is demand-controlled ventilation — and what is the difference from conventional time management?
Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) means that the ventilation system regulates the amount of air based on the actual demand in each room, not according to a preset calendar. Sensors measure CO₂ levels, temperature and presence in real time, and the system adjusts automatically. Traditional time management fully ventilates regardless of whether the room is empty or full. Demand management can more than halve the energy demand for ventilation without deteriorating the indoor climate.
Are there legal requirements for indoor climate and ventilation in commercial buildings?
Yes. The Working Environment Act and Workplace Regulations § 2-14 require the employer to ensure a satisfactory indoor climate in all workplaces — including requirements for air quality, temperature and mechanical ventilation. Good demand management is an effective measure to comply with these requirements and document them, since sensor data provides ongoing measurement and log.
How much energy can we save — and what is typical payback time?
The average for Energy Control customers is 42% energy reduction. Single cases show anywhere from 25% (ventilation control alone) to 70% after full optimization. Payback time varies with building size and starting point, but customers typically report 1—2 years. One of the customers expected 5—6 years and was paid off in under two.
Do we need to replace the ventilation system to get demand-controlled ventilation?
No. Energy Control connects to existing technical facilities without the need to replace them. The approach is open and non-proprietary, meaning the sensors and system work with most system types. Installation usually takes one day, and many customers see immediate reduction in energy consumption from day one.
