metr technologies enable energy savings of up to 35% – without construction work or loss of comfort. metr partners with Europe’s leading impact investment platform to cut CO₂ emissions.

BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Landlords and tenants are facing tough times at the start of the new heating season: heating and CO2 costs are forecast to rise significantly. At the same time, the EU has revised its Buildings Directive. The building sector must reduce its CO2 emissions to meet climate targets. Berlin-based PropTech company metr offers a solution for greater energy efficiency without extensive building restoration: digital heating optimization enables energy savings of up to 35 percent in existing building stock.

"Most buildings still waste energy because they lack smart, affordable solutions to optimize their heating systems, which account for approximately 80 percent of buildings' energy consumption. This stands in contrast to the EU's ambitious climate targets,“ explains Dr. Franka Birke, Managing Director, metr. ”The metr plug-and-play technology provides real-time energy information and optimizes heating systems in existing buildings fully automated, using AI-powered software. This leads to an immediate reduction in energy costs and CO2 emissions."

A crowdfunding campaign is now driving the European expansion of the platform technology, which is already successful in Germany. More than 70 companies – including Deutsche Telekom, the German Red Cross, and Median Kliniken – already rely on metr software. metr has raised more than 5 million Euro in equity capital as part of a first closing. As part of the second closing of this Series B, a further 1.5 million Euro is to be raised, including via the crowdfunding platform Invesdor.
