aedifion GmbH

Aedifion GmbH, founded in 2017 as a spin-off of RWTH Aachen University, develops a cloud-based platform that applies artificial intelligence and real-time data analytics to building operations. The platform is designed to cut energy consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 40% without requiring expensive structural investments, by optimising how existing buildings are run rather than rebuilding them.

The technical work spans several domains: artificial intelligence, real-time data analytics, data science, software engineering and IoT edge devices deployed within building automation systems. Alongside the cloud platform, the company builds AI-driven predictive control systems for building automation and implements IoT edge hardware in the field. The company employs nearly 100 professionals.

Teams work cross-functionally at the intersection of building technology, data science and software engineering, with an emphasis on pragmatic problem-solving and continuous learning. The company's research-driven roots and academic partnerships remain part of its culture, as does a focus on measurable environmental impact and tangible cost savings for property owners. The stated mission is the digital decarbonisation of the built environment.

Its work serves the buildings and built environment sector, including building automation, real estate and property management, and energy efficiency and sustainability.
