With our strategy and our business model, we work at the intersection of three key megatrends: urbanization, mobility and energy efficiency. Innovative, sustainable technologies are at the heart of Techem’s efforts to make buildings green, smart and healthy.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We at Techem are aware of our responsibility and are therefore working on solutions for a successful energy transition in buildings.
One thing is clear: Only with the help of digitization is a nearly climate-neutral building stock feasible and affordable because, with digitally networked solutions and devices, we can reduce energy consumption, increase efficiency and network renewable energy generation across sectors.
Digitization therefore makes property management more economical, more reliable and more convenient. Climate protection, process efficiency and legal compliance go hand in hand.
The resulting database creates clarity and awareness of energy consumption and energy flows –among owners and tenants. This enables optimal planning and control as well as energy-efficient generation and distribution. Consumers can also save energy more easily.
As an energy service and metering provider, we at Techem see our task as creating smart, digital and resource-saving solutions for the real estate industry of tomorrow. Our services and devices are therefore always designed with a clear goal in mind: We want to reduce CO₂ emissions in real estate.
The basis for the necessary data overview and the added value based on it is the modern digital Techem sensor infrastructure. The advantages? It is durable, interoperable, remotely readable, data secure and self-monitoring.
Additional solutions will be added in perspective, especially with a view to digitization and the increased use of sensor technology. Examples of additional possible fields of activity include the digital and energy-efficient operation of elevators, air quality monitoring and other services in the networked building. Buildings and neighborhoods of the future must be climate-friendly, connected and healthy living and working spaces. We will contribute to this.
Our customers are housing associations and real estate investors as well as cooperatives, classic property management companies and owners of apartment buildings.
