Cultural & leisure facilities
Comfortable temperatures during cultural events – then automatically lowered afterwards
Intelligently map event operations
Opening hours, rehearsals, events: profiles instead of gut feelings
Foyer, auditorium, backstage, course rooms, changing rooms: each zone has its own requirements. With better.energy, you can define occupancy schedules and comfort/efficiency profiles for each room type. This ensures comfort during usage times and prevents unnecessary continuous operation outside of usage times. Connection to occupancy software is also possible thanks to the Open API better.integrations.
Different areas, different logic
Zone control instead of ‘everything at the same temperature’
In museums or exhibition areas, stable temperature control is often important, while storage rooms, corridors or ancillary rooms can be cooled more significantly. better.energy supports differentiated zoning with temperature limits in cultural and leisure facilities so that you can realistically map comfort and operating logic. Just 1°C less leads to around 6 percent lower energy costs.
Less effort in everyday life
Automation instead of thermostat rounds
Manual checks are time-consuming and prone to errors, especially in large buildings like in cultural and leisure facilities. better.energy takes care of control implementation centrally, reduces energy losses, e.g. through automatic detection of ventilation situations, and thus relieves the burden on operations and building services. Web access provides a constant overview of all rooms, thermostats, and temperatures in the dashboard.
Transparency & reporting
Measure consumption, compare, document measures
With better.energy – Monitor, you can identify which parts of the building or periods of time are conspicuous. You can document the effects of control adjustments, prioritise measures based on data, and have reliable figures for budget and sustainability communication.

Frequently asked questions
Does this also work for short-term events and changing times?
Yes. You can use profiles and time slots to map usage peaks and consistently reduce idle times. Rules can be standardised for recurring formats.
Can the foyer, hall and backstage areas be controlled separately?
Yes. The logic works with room types and even sub-rooms. This ensures that each area has the right temperature control. Rules can be grouped into rule sets and assigned individually to different room types. This ensures that each room reaches the perfect temperature for its use and is kept at an energy-efficient temperature level when not in use.
Does this affect visitor comfort?
No, if limit values and comfort profiles are clearly defined, there are no disadvantages for the comfort of users and visitors. On the contrary, the aim is to increase comfort during times of use with pleasant temperatures, while increasing energy efficiency during idle times.
