Green Real Estate
Apleona provides comprehensive services for reliable, safe, efficient and environmentally friendly buildings. The decarbonization of real estate is supported by a range of measures, including data collection, facilitating internal and external reporting, identifying decarbonization strategies, and planning and implementing short- and long-term energy efficiency and CO2 reduction measures. In this way, we help your building or portfolio stay on the decarbonization path.Our decarbonization solutions preserve your values
The building sector in Germany is responsible for around 35% of energy consumption and around 30% of CO2 emissions across all sectors. Decarbonizing the building sector therefore plays a critical role in achieving the country's climate goals. Sustainability, ESG, and energy efficiency issues are critical to preserving the value of real estate. This is driven by increasing regulatory requirements, rising energy costs and investor demands. The high level of advisory expertise in ESG solutions and the broad green real estate product portfolio form the basis for supporting the decarbonization of real estate.From rapid analysis to long-term strategy
As part of the decarbonization process, the focus is on developing and implementing strategies to reduce CO2 emissions. The first step is a rapid analysis that focuses on assessing the building, energy consumption and HVAC technology. Based on this, we provide the client with a proposal for a package of measures that can be implemented in the short term. There are three elements to this approach: First, the building, technology and consumption are analyzed. Second, a cost-benefit analysis is performed, which serves as the basis for effective savings measures. Finally, short- and medium-term solutions are implemented based on this transparency. In addition to the significant energy savings and reduction in CO2 emissions, the customer also benefits from the planning time gained for long-term strategies, which are associated with high investment requirements and are significantly more complex.
„With our energy management systems, we reduce energy consumption in existing properties by 20 to 30 percent through monitoring and active or AI-based, fully automated control.“
Dr. Jochen Keysberg FRICS CEO Apleona Group
Recogizer
Recogizer is the specialist in optimizing the operation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The self-learning, AI-based software reduces energy consumption in office and retail buildings, hotels and educational facilities by an average of 28%. Savings are verifiable, permanent and automated, with no manual intervention required.
The best effect comes from the sum total
Whether it is energy saving, decarbonization or an overall green real estate strategy - the combination of the right measures creates the best effect. To determine this, it is important to understand which options are considered appropriate and feasible in the current situation. We analyze the current situation, make recommendations, and evaluate alternatives. Technical investments in high performance building services are considered as part of the planning process. In addition, the necessary structural changes are implemented. In summary, individual management is carried out with a holistic view of what is feasible. All with a high level of personal contribution. A promise that can be kept thanks to the Group's extensive resources and expertise.
Apleona as an integrator of your individual decarbonization strategy
Our open-technology, scalable model (EcoSystem) enables Apleona to act as an integrator, moderator and proactive problem solver, integrating both its own solutions and customer solutions for the decarbonization of existing buildings.
„Our innovative energy management combined with integrated facility management makes Apleona an enabler for climate protection in existing buildings.“
Dr. Michael Lange, CDO Apleona
Apleona's services include traditional facility management services such as HVAC maintenance and optimization. In addition, innovative data and AI-based services are offered, including Enerlutec, Recogizer and Eastway. In addition, property management, building technology and interior design are integrated to create a comprehensive package for the decarbonization of buildings.
As a leading FM service provider in Europe, we are well positioned with our internal resources and expertise. These include our own on-site FM specialists, detailed knowledge of the properties, buildings and systems, as well as the necessary resources and management expertise.
Energy monitoring with Enerlutec
The monitoring software Enerlutec Monitoring has been specially adapted to the requirements of the real estate industry. The tool offers comprehensive analysis and reporting functions to reliably control and manage the energy consumption of individual properties or entire portfolios.
Documentation of all energy costs with Payagent
Take full control of your energy costs and consumption: PayAgent is a service that digitizes, verifies, documents and manages a large number of energy bills. The information is delivered daily and presented in a transparent manner. By avoiding incorrect payments and speeding up the billing process, significant savings can be made. In addition, there is the certainty that only actual consumption values are paid.
Our Green Real Estate solutions
Our solutions cover the entire value chain - from creating transparency about energy data (e.g. via our Enerlutec energy management system) to developing long-term decarbonization strategies and specific optimization solutions, e.g. for automatic/AI-based energy optimization or energy bill control. The use of innovative digital solutions, such as the Recogizer system, enables intelligent and predictive control of building technology. This leads to a significant reduction in energy costs of around 20%.
„With our expertise, customers can implement their individual decarbonization pathway in the first three to five years without major investments.“

The technical equipment of modern buildings and facilities is constantly evolving. In the course of decarbonization, intelligent building technology to optimize consumption and reduce emissions in the operation of properties is becoming increasingly important. Ultimately, complete decarbonization can only be achieved through significant investments in, for example, heat pumps and the technical building infrastructure. Apleona is also available as a partner in this context with the solutions offered by Apleona Wolfferts and Apleona R&M Innenausbau.
