What is BEE?
BEE — Building Energy Efficiency — not only controls the building in an optimal way and helps to save emissions, it also uses buildings as storage capacity in the energy grid by consuming energy at times when renewables are abundant.
The BEE system integrates into the building management system (BMS), where it gathers data about energy consumption as well as indoor air quality. A central data platform combines this with third-party data sources such as energy grid data and weather data.
Every day the system forecasts the next day’s energy grid mix, weather conditions and the building’s utilisation and capability to use energy flexibly. Based on that, it calculates an optimised control schedule for heating, ventilation, cooling, water heating, EV charging and other flexible appliances. The schedule shifts energy usage towards renewables and minimises consumption through proactive control — while maintaining a comfortable environment for the building’s users.
Expected impact
Based on tests and simulations we expect:
- 10–20% increase in the use of renewables
- 15–20% energy savings through optimised control
- 15–20% combined reduction in emissions, depending on the energy mix

How does the service operate?
Eeneman collects data from your building and combines it with third-party sources such as the renewable energy production forecast, electricity spot price, solar data and weather forecast.
Our AI engine creates a forecast for the building and control commands on top of the forecast. These are delivered to the building, and we follow how it reacts to control commands and weather changes — learning to control the building better every day.
