Together, we are relying on artificial intelligence and innovative building data management to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. In the coming months, we will digitise around two dozen of Mobimo’s existing properties and continuously optimise them using our innovative plug & play solution with AI software. In this way, CO2 emissions can be minimised overall – without compromising user comfort.

With this collaboration, we are making an important contribution to achieving climate targets and reducing operating costs. The measures to reduce operating costs and CO2 emissions will be prepared by our partner company Weisskopf Partner GmbH and discussed with Mobimo. Implementation is carried out by the facility management team of Mobimo Management AG. Weisskopf Partner also prepares a refurbishment strategy report and GEAK Plus certificate for each property.

We invite decision-makers to actively participate in the discussion on sustainable building management. Let’s shape the future together!

Pilot project with Oxoia

Swiss Prime Site Solutions decided on a pilot project with Oxoia. The innovative plug-and-play solution with AI software connects HVAC-systems, IoT devices and external web services with each other. It measures the usage of zones in the building, monitors the technical operation and derives the ideal settings for each system so that the overall energy demand is minimized.

Goals

The goal of the pilot was to minimize energy demand and CO2 emissions of the property “1A Lage an der A1” in Urtenen-Schönbühl and to evaluate new technologies that can be used in further future projects.

Challenges

The building with approx. 20’000m2 usable space has a high technical complexity; about 1’000 data points are to be examined. In some cases, essential parameters such as CO2 values in zones are missing. Some energy optimization measures had already been implemented before the project started.

Results

With Oxoia’s solution, important data was read from the control system and missing data was covered with wireless sensors. After the winter operation the following results could be shown by the intelligent software and experts of Oxoia:

  • 37 measures for the reduction of the energy demand localized and documented
  • 3 measures fully implemented / 13 measures in implementation / 21 measures pending
    To date, the released
  • amounts to CHF 24,000 for winter operation.

At the same time, the complete digitalization of the optimization process makes it easy to accompany and monitor the implementation of measures. This in turn shortens decision-making paths and saves time and costs in implementation.

The cleantech myFacility is rebranding and now called Oxoia AG. In the market, he said, misunderstandings occasionally arose among prospective customers during initial contacts. They interpreted that the startup offers facility management services. Furthermore, it was not possible to protect the name myFacility in Switzerland. Neither “my” nor “Facility” are words that can be acquired as intellectual property. As an additional reason, the language of the name was pointed out. As a brand, it was not ideal for customer acquisition and retention in other language regions. In sum, this would have led them to look for a new name and rebrand the company. At the same time, a new corporate identity and website were developed.

Oxoia helps building owners minimize energy costs over time and across the whole. In doing so, it developed a plug-and-play solution that can be connected to all relevant operational systems in non-residential buildings (old and new). The data of the installations and usage in the rooms, zones and the building are transferred to a standardized data model of Oxoia. This enables central monitoring of the systems and optimization of the interaction of all systems by means of artificial intelligence, thus minimizing the overall energy costs.
