Antwerp, Belgium / Munich, Germany, December 10, 2020 – The Nemetschek Group, one of the world’s leading software providers for the architecture, engineering, construction and building operations (AECO) industry, today announced that its subsidiary Spacewell, headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium, has acquired 100% of DEXMA. DEXMA, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, is a fast-growing provider of innovative SaaS solutions with artificial intelligence/machine learning capabilities for energy data management. The company enables its more than 4,000 end customers in 30 countries worldwide to effectively measure, monitor, and manage their energy consumption and costs.
“According to the global status report by the United Nations, buildings account for 30 percent of final energy use and 28 percent of global carbon emissions. This acquisition is a huge plus for customers aiming to become more sustainable in their operations. Energy management is an important element in creating truly autonomous buildings that automatically adapt their behaviors to the occupants and stakeholders,” says Koen Matthijs, Chief Division Officer, Operate & Manage Division at the Nemetschek Group. “DEXMA perfectly complements our existing portfolio for facility management, property management and smart building. Adding energy management gives us a strong competitive edge. Our customers benefit from a complete solution to operate their buildings.”
DEXMA provides data-driven Energy Intelligence. Its SaaS solution enables facility and property managers, energy services providers and consultants to report on energy consumptions, analyze usage patterns as well as inefficiencies, and detect anomalies in real time. It supports companies to optimize the energy efficiency of their buildings and to reduce carbon emissions.
“DEXMA is in a race for a more sustainable future, helping global organizations of all sizes to track their energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint. Our mission is to ultimately accelerate planet earth’s transition to a carbon neutral economy,” says Joan Pinyol, CEO at DEXMA. “We are honored to join Spacewell and the Nemetschek Group, one of the 50 Sustainability and Climate Leaders by the United Nations. At DEXMA we will work relentlessly to build a more sustainable future.”
“We are really thrilled with this acquisition. In the future, Spacewell and DEXMA will be able to integrate and correlate data from any hardware or sensor platform, making our combined offering vendor independent, flexible, and future proof”, explains Eric Van Bael, CEO of Spacewell. “A win-win-win situation for all companies wanting to increase their sustainability.”
Automated energy data management solutions are key to minimizing the ecological footprint of organizations and building portfolios. With the use of artificial intelligence, the data generated by such tools allows to predict the behavior of buildings – enabling lower energy costs, the tracking of the usage of natural resources and a better built world.
