Office & administrative buildings
Hybrid work requires hybrid heating: operating office spaces efficiently and automatically
Energy-efficient automatic control
Usage logic instead of continuous operation in the office
With better.energy, you can set profiles for working hours, off-peak hours, weekends, and sub-areas. Based on these settings, the system automatically lowers the temperature when areas are not in use and brings zones up to a comfortable temperature in good time when they are due to be used. Unnecessarily heating empty offices is just as out of place in our modern working world as ignoring environmental protection and sustainability. With better.energy, you can control office and administrative buildings efficiently, thereby reducing heating costs and CO₂ emissions.
The perfect temperature for every use
Centralised control of zones and room types
Individual offices, open spaces, meeting rooms, canteens: different room sizes and uses require differentiated temperature control. You define rules for each room type/zone structure and roll them out across buildings. better.energy helps you achieve the perfect comfortable temperature for every room type without wasting energy. And if a window is opened while the heating is still running, the software intervenes and reduces the heating output during the ventilation process. You can’t get more energy efficient than that.
Better overview of heating and cooling
Transparency and governance for facility management
With better.energy – Monitor, you can measure your heat consumption digitally and see where energy is really being used – and where it isn’t. This makes it easier to prioritise measures, control budgets and coordinate internally between the technical team, sustainability management and senior management. Optionally, data can be linked to room booking/occupancy via integrations or consumption data can be exported.

Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of better.energy for hybrid work and fluctuating utilisation?
The greatest effect is achieved when comfort is provided specifically where work is actually being done. Time profiles, zones and (optional) occupancy information from third-party systems help to efficiently reduce space during idle times.
Can meeting rooms be controlled differently from open spaces and offices?
Yes. Meeting rooms are given their own profiles, e.g. rapid comfort provision at booking times, but lower temperatures than in offices, while open-plan areas often run on more stable time slots. This reduces overheating and improves comfort where it is needed.
How do we support facility management in control?
Centralised control sets and monitoring give FM transparency over consumption and operation. This simplifies standardisation, ticket prioritisation and communication with management and users. In addition, facility managers have an overview of all devices, room temperatures, valve positions and much more at any time and from anywhere via online access.
