Today, building technology accounts for up to 80 percent of the investment costs of a property. It is the decisive factor in optimizing energy consumption and decarbonizing buildings. With our technical expertise, over 30 years of experience with numerous customers from all sectors, a high in-house performance rate and the use of digital and data-based innovations and green technologies, we make a significant contribution to maintaining the value and sustainability of your property.
Data-based, experienced and with a high level of personal effort
Technical facility management is part of Apleona's DNA. It has been one of our core competencies for more than 30 years. Data-based maintenance, supported by sensor technology and AI, enables predictive maintenance strategies, short response times and virtually trouble-free operation. The aim is always to achieve a high level of reliability, especially in critical environments.
Based on norms and standards and in compliance with costs and deadlines, we ensure consistent quality from analysis and realization through to implementation support. Anyone who, like Apleona, can provide all technical services in-house has a clear advantage. This keeps processes lean and allows maintenance to be carried out more quickly and in line with requirements.
„As the No. 1 in technical FM in Germany and Europe, we create transparency about the assets in your portfolio so that we can then develop and implement sustainable and optimal maintenance and decarbonization strategies for you, for example.“
Dr. Gert W. Riegel, COO FM DACH
Our decarbonization solutions preserve your property values
The building sector in Germany is responsible for around 35% of energy consumption and around 30% of CO2 emissions of all sectors. The decarbonization of the building sector therefore plays a decisive role in achieving a country's climate targets. The issues of sustainability, ESG and energy efficiency are crucial for maintaining the value of your real estate, not least due to increasing regulatory requirements, rising energy costs and investor demands. With our high level of consulting expertise for ESG solutions and our broad green real estate product portfolio, we support you in decarbonizing your properties.
Only those who have the best information can make the right decisions
Only those who record and process the actual data can provide their customers with an initial basis for decision-making. For example, for planned investments or the transparent presentation of consumption and emissions. We supplement this information with many other relevant data. We close the blind spots with our own systematic data collection, reduce the complexity of the data with the help of AI and then draw the right conclusions for our service recommendations. We have the right tool for this.
Data-based FM with our AIM - Asset Information Modeling
Today, the complexity of technical relations knows almost no bounds. Innovation cycles are getting shorter as well as the services for technical systems increasingly complex and therefore more demanding. That's why we take care of the structured recording of your building and system data. With our in-house development AIM - Asset Information Modeling, we concentrate on the relevant data. Let's call it the “need-to-know principle”. With AIM, we provide those involved with the relevant data in a concentrated form.
„As a technology-driven FM provider, we offer integrated building services that are optimized through a wide range of digital solutions to improve data transparency, cost and energy efficiency and the workplace experience.“
Dr. Michael Lange, CDO
Predictive maintenance: 20 years of experience from technology specialist Eastway
The technology specialist Eastway, which is part of the corporate group, advises on condition-based and predictive maintenance and servicing solutions for building service systems such as HVAC units, compressors, chillers and pumps. These solutions are based on sensor-supported online monitoring with 24/7 supervision by building technology specialists, whose recommendations and decisions are in turn supported by machine learning-based diagnostics of the collected data. The solutions are independent of the original equipment manufacturer.

Green Real Estate: From rapid analysis to long-term strategy
We accompany you on your path to decarbonization: The first step is always a rapid analysis of buildings, consumption and the relevant HVAC technology. On this basis, we then propose a whole package of measures that can be implemented in the short term. This requires three steps: analyze buildings, technology and consumption, create cost-benefit transparency for effective savings measures and then implement short and medium-term solutions on this basis. In addition to the considerable savings in energy and CO2, the customer also gains planning time for long-term strategies that are significantly more complex and require a high level of investment.
Recogizer: AI technology saves up to 30% CO2
Recogizer is the specialist for optimum operation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The self-learning, AI-based software automatically reduces the energy consumption of office and retail buildings, hotels and educational institutions by an average of 28 percent. The savings are demonstrably, permanently and automatically implemented - without any manual effort.
Decarbonization: The best solution is the complete package
Be it energy saving, decarbonization or an overall green real estate strategy - the combination of the right measures produces the best effect. To do this, you need to know what works, what is right and feasible here and now. We analyze the inventory, make recommendations and evaluate alternatives. Then we plan the technical investments in high-performance building technology - and last but not least, we also implement the necessary structural changes. In short: we manage individually, but with a holistic view of what is feasible. All with a high level of personal effort. A promise that we can keep thanks to our comprehensive resources and expertise within the corporate group.
Installation of green building infrastructure
The technical equipment of modern buildings and systems is constantly evolving. Intelligent building technology to optimize consumption and reduce emissions is playing an increasingly important role in the operation of properties under the heading of decarbonization.
Ultimately, complete decarbonization will not be possible without significant investments e.g. in heat pumps and the technical building infrastructure.
Apleona is also available here as a partner with the solutions offered by Apleona Wolfferts or Apleona R&M Innenausbau.
Produced in collaboration with Apleona, this white paper explores the technological aspects of energy monitoring and the importance of an intelligent, data-driven approach to future-oriented facility management.
