About Us

Our history at a glance

The beginnings

Friedrich Ott founded Techem in 1952. It was one of the first companies to help distribute heating costs fairly according to consumption by recording individual heat consumption in apartments. At that time, the order of the day was the simple, analog installation and reading of evaporator tubes on radiators.

The 1980s

A key milestone: In 1983, Techem launched electronic heat cost allocators on the market. The advantage? These devices work more accurately than analog heat cost allocators and can therefore reduce measurement errors to a minimum.

The 1990s

Techem has also been offering heat contracting since 1992 and introduced a radio system for consumption recording four years later.

The 2000s

Techem ushered in a new era in 2005 with the establishment of remote reading via mobile communications. In 2007, we expanded our product portfolio to include wireless smoke detectors, and in 2009 we introduced the Techem Smart System. It centrally and automatically records and transmits the consumption values of the individual recording devices.

The 2010s

In 2010, we certified our energy management system in accordance with DIN EN 16001 as part of heat contracting. This was followed by the introduction of remote inspection of smoke detectors in 2011. A year later, Techem expanded its service portfolio to include legionella testing in cooperation with the SGS Institut Fresenius. In 2012, the Techem heating service was added and supplemented in 2014 by the Techem heating service with direct current. In 2018, we introduced hydraulic balancing and drinking water treatment, followed by remote monitoring of heating systems with the Techem Smart Monitor in 2019.

The 2020s

At the beginning of 2021, Techem entered the smart metering business as a competitive metering point operator. Using intelligent metering systems, we can now offer bundled consumption recording for submetering, electricity, and gas.

Your partner for energy efficiency and digital real estate solutions

Techem has been a partner to the residential and commercial real estate industry for over 70 years. Our origins lie in consumption-based billing for heat and water – with the aim of creating cost transparency for owners and tenants. Today, we offer a comprehensive portfolio for energy management, resource conservation, healthy living, and process efficiency.

With innovative solutions such as the digital boiler room, wireless smoke detectors with remote inspection, metering point operation, charging infrastructure for electric mobility, and services for drinking water protection, we increase efficiency along the entire value chain of heat and water. Through wireless remote recording and smart networking, we are driving forward the digitalization of buildings and developing renewable supply concepts for a climate-neutral future.

In addition, we are investing in digital innovations for smart buildings in order to promote the decarbonization of the building stock. In this way, we are making an important contribution to:

Conserving resources and protecting the environment
Improving energy efficiency and reducing costs
Fulfilling our service promise to the real estate industry

Techem stands for sustainable solutions that pave the way to a climate-neutral and sustainable real estate world.

For residents

Our products and services help landlords and tenants reduce energy consumption and heating costs. They also benefit from solutions for healthy living, comfort, and safety. For a sustainable real estate industry.

Our vision: smart and sustainable buildings

The city of the future needs new concepts for densified spaces, digital networking, and changed mobility. The key lies in energy-efficient buildings with renewable energies, with the goal of net-zero emissions. Techem is driving this development forward with digital, cost-efficient solutions to work toward the climate targets in the real estate industry for 2045.

A digital service partner

Net-zero emissions in existing buildings can only be achieved through digitalization. With its One Digital Platform, Techem offers a wide range of digital services, from remote optimization via the digital boiler room to digital billing and transparent consumption data. In this way, we control building technology and network sectors for efficient energy use. Precise building and consumption data are also crucial for ESG-compliant planning and a sustainable heat supply.

To our solutions

Decisive contribution to decarbonization

Climate change and achieving the 1.5-degree target remain the greatest global challenge. For this reason, Techem is committed to carbon-neutral building operation. In this way, we are making an active contribution to achieving climate targets in the real estate sector and aim to raise awareness through measurable data, such as our consumption information during the year.
