Maximize Property Value & Minimize Energy Costs

Unlock the Full Potential of Your Real Estate Portfolio with Data-Driven Sustainability

The European Union is imposing strict legislation to make buildings more sustainable. 16% of the worst-performing buildings must be phased out by 2030. And the entire building stock will be energy-neutral by 2050. A digital copy of your building forms the basis for direct energy savings and a source of knowledge for making the right sustainable investment choices.

Save money

Create Value

Happy tenants

Turn problems into opportunities

Climate systems in buildings often perform inadequately*. This results in dissatisfied tenants, malfunctions and high maintenance costs. Energy can easily be 30% higher then expeted and breakdowns lead to complaints. At the same time, the European Union is imposing strict legislation to make buildings ParisProof.

Do you know what needs to be done in your buildings? And do you have a clear plan to meet Paris Proof goals?

*Research by TNO has shown in The Netherlands that 70% of installations are not functioning properly.

Using knowledge to make buildings sustainable

A Digital Twin is a model of your building and climate systems. A digital copy that includes the entire building with energy flows, installations and numerous properties. In combination with external data such as weather forecasts, solar influence and data from energy companies, it forms the basis for sustainable improvements, aiming at:

  1. Insights and optimisation of climate systems for improved comfort;
  2. Direct energy and CO2 savings with algorithms that optimally control installations 24/7;
  3. Making the right choices for investments and renovations. With the Digital Twin as a source of knowledge based on data from your building.

We use high-quality technology developed together with Priva. VBoptimum is an exclusive partner. Read here how our experienced technical staff ensure a successful implementation.

    experts at VBoptimum

    We are specialists in data-driven optimisation, control and installation technology. Use our knowledge and insights to make your buildings future-proof and Paris Proof, together with existing operators.

    1. Ensure optimally functioning installations, good comfort and satisfied users;
    2. Make real data from your building work to make the right investment decisions;
    3. Save energy and CO2 immediately with our smart algorithms that optimally control the installations 24/7. And earn back the investment immediately!

    Tip: Include the annual costs in the service costs. The tenant can offset these against a lower energy bill.

    Payback time 2-3 years

    The energy savings are often so great that investments often pay for themselves quickly. Benefits such as improved comfort, insight into buildings and optimal use of renewable energy are added.

    Proven technology

    The core technology was developed by Priva. An experienced supplier with more than 100,000 users. VBoptimum originated from Priva and has shown that the technology works. Choose for a secure solution withe proven technology.

    Good comfort, happy tenants

    The system looks 24 hours ahead and steers towards the best possible indoor climate. This ensures good comfort, fewer breakdowns and satisfied tenants. Together with the savings on CO2 and costs, it is actually a no-brainer.

    What customers say

    This is exactly what I expect from a smart climate controller.

    Philip Verheye

    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.

    Patrick Arnold

    How cool that I get to experience this technology before I retire.

    André den Biggelaar

    The ecoBuilding simulations showed us exactly which battery capacity type we had to use in combination with the available connection capacity.

    Patrick Kennis

    The pilot demonstrated substantial energy savings of as much as 35%. We are very happy about that!

    Roy Dols

    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.

    Erwin van Gorkom

    My climate system has become much easier to understand thanks to the insights and VB Optimum knowledge.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is it save and is my data secure?

    The software is ISO 27001 certified and has passed the necessary pen tests for this. The system uses Microsoft Azure where data is stored on servers within Europe. At the supplier Priva, security is an important pillar. Based on a strategic company policy, this theme has been elaborated in various well-secured activities.

    In addition, white papers are available explaining exactly how the data connection is established, how the cloud connector works and how your IT department can secure it completely.

    Can the system work on any type of building and BMS?

    he Digital Twin with its predictive controls fits virtually any office, school or logistics building with a building management system. We usually apply this in buildings from 5,000 m2 to 50,000 m2. And it is completely brand-independent. So we can work with any brand of building management system. We connect with a universal cloud connector via BACnet, MODbus or XML.

    What does it cost and can it be included in the service charge?

    You only reimburse the cost of the Prescan in which a Plan of Action is made for your specific building(s)*. We implement the tool, validate the installations and present the insights. The tool will control the installations 24/7, improve comfort and save more energy costs than the annual subscription. As an indication, we can assume a subscription with services and licence of around €0.15 per m2 per month**. Any costs of the installer or solving existing problems in the installations are brought into focus during the prescan and are initially excluded from this.

    We often see landlords include these annual costs in the service costs. After all, the tenant will (in many cases) pay less energy costs. And gets a better functioning installation and better comfort in return. Moreover, the CO2 footprint of the building is reduced, which contributes to the climate goals the tenant (possibly) also has.

    *Prescan, with site visit and presentation depending on the size of the building, is often only a few days' work. The investment in this is therefore often limited and manageable.

    **We will cover the costs for the implementation and validation of the climate system, including the presentations. If you wish, it is also possible to finance this one-off cost yourself, which reduces the subscription costs.

    Who is Priva and what is de difference with VBoptimum?

    Priva, with more than 100,000 connected buildings, is the market leader in climate automation in the Netherlands.
