aedifion launches smart energy management solution for buildings

Cologne-based PropTech company aedifion has introduced aedifion.dynamics, a new software solution designed to optimize electricity costs in building operations by leveraging dynamic tariffs and on-site energy generation. The tool enables automated demand-side management by intelligently coordinating flexible energy loads, such as photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, battery storage, and HVAC systems, to align with the most cost-effective electricity pricing periods.

The launch marks another strategic step for aedifion in advancing digital, climate-neutral building operations. aedifion.dynamics connects buildings directly to the energy market, allowing them to function as virtual energy storage units that respond in real time to changing grid conditions and pricing.

“Our solution for intelligent electricity cost optimization is a logical progression toward fully digital and sustainable building management,” said Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fütterer, CEO of aedifion GmbH. “With aedifion.dynamics, we offer real estate companies a practical tool to lower electricity costs, improve energy efficiency, enhance operational flexibility, and contribute to the broader transition toward electricity-driven heating.”

As of January 1, 2025, electricity providers in Germany are required to offer dynamic tariffs linked to real-time market prices. To take advantage of these rates, buildings must use smart meters and have compatible systems, such as heat pumps, electric vehicle charging stations, or battery storage.

aedifion.dynamics uses AI-driven consumption forecasting and real-time data to optimize when to draw, store, or use electricity. The software continuously analyzes grid fees, market conditions, and local energy production to enable more efficient and cost-effective building operations. It also integrates with a variety of sensors and third-party systems, offering a comprehensive solution for modern energy management.
