VBoptimize, powered by ecoBuilding
We are specialists in the field of Smart Energy steering. We map out the entire installation, connect VBoptimize to your building and ensure that it is predictive, self-learning and achieves optimal operation.
Professional, thoughtful and with a personal service.
About ecoBuilding
ecoBuilding is a platform with algorithms that independently makes decisions to optimize building installations. It works from a Digital Twin with any brand of building management system. Historical and real-time data on building behavior, energy tariffs and weather reports are combined and analyzed. It was developed by Priva. VBoptimum is the partner to roll it out on a large scale. Together with Priva, we are working on its further development. Within 'VBoptimize', we integrate the algorithms into buildings, building management systems and dashboards. A total solution in which we save energy and unburden customers.
Prescan
insight, approach and tailor-made business case
The Prescan visualizes the connectivity and possibilities for eco-building of electrical assets such as batteries, charging stations, and solar panels. You will receive an action plan and business case with concrete next steps. Optionally, we include a simulation to determine the ideal battery capacity and cost-benefit ratio. Read more about the possibilities of battery simulation here.
VBinsights
Insights as the starting point for optimization
With VBinsights, you gain clear insight into the energy, CO₂, and performance of your building(s). Dashboards and reports show you where you stand and which improvements are a priority. From ESG reporting to a Paris-proof roadmap: VBinsights provides the foundation for sustainable policies and sound investments.
VBoptimize
24/7 predictive control of climate control systems for comfort and savings
VBoptimize continuously and predictively controls HVAC systems. Algorithms anticipate sun, outside temperature, building usage, and renewable energy. This ensures optimal comfort, efficient use of systems, and an average of 15–30% energy savings. A data-driven approach for future-proof climate management.
VBsynergy
Smart control over batteries and electrical assets
VBsynergy optimally coordinates batteries, charging stations, solar panels, and optionally, the heat pump. It takes capacity, limitations, and energy demand into account. This allows you to maximize solar energy, avoid overspending, and create room for expansion. Flexibility can also be leveraged on energy markets or shared in contracts. Read more about grid congestion solutions here.
Main advantages
Payback time of the investment less than 5 years
The energy savings are often so significant that investments in energy alone easily pay for themselves within five years. Benefits such as improved comfort, sustainable energy management, and system performance are also added.
Proven technology, a safe investment
The core of the technology was developed by Priva Lab for Innovation and has proven itself in a growing number of buildings in the Netherlands and beyond. We strive for reliability, satisfied customers, and long-term relationships.
Savings average 15 - 30%
VBoptimum first ensures your systems are functioning properly. Using predictive algorithms, we achieve optimal results. On average, we save 15-30% on energy and CO2 emissions.
Your plans can go ahead
Smart sustainability upgrades and expansions, even with limited grid connections. Whether it's charging stations, solar panels, or a battery: VBsynergy creates space within existing capacity.
Invest smarter
VBsynergy shows the actual battery size needed, preventing oversizing. We can also perform simulations to calculate investments in systems like heat pumps or insulation.
Extra value from flexibility
With VBsynergy, you can leverage available capacity and flexibility on energy markets or share it in contracts. This not only gives you control over your own connection but also adds financial value.
What our clients say
This is exactly what I expect from a smart climate controller.
Colleagues working in the offices are convinced by the indoor climate and comfort level, on the other hand, the benefits of energy consumption become clear when making a comparison with other office buildings.
How cool that I get to experience this technology before I retire.
The ecoBuilding simulations showed us exactly which battery capacity type we had to use in combination with the available connection capacity.
The pilot demonstrated substantial energy savings of as much as 35%. We are very happy about that!
EcoBuilding is now running well and we are saving significantly. Thanks to VB Optimum, many optimisations have become visible that we didn't know about. Now we are steering the installation in a targeted way to optimal operation.
My climate system has become much easier to understand thanks to the insights and VB Optimum knowledge.
Our services
Our years of experience have led to a well thought-out approach. We start with a quick scan (is the building suitable for smart controls), do an extensive validation of the existing installation and ultimately provide smart predictive control. Below you will find an overview of the different services. From quick scan to smart predictive controls.
