In the heating season, European energy prices are expected to rise to record levels. One of the largest Swedish professional building owners, Willhem AB, has taken a proactive approach to cut costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Willhem has signed an agreement with Danfoss to implement the Leanheat Building software starting with 6,500 apartments. Going forward, Leanheat Building will be the digital way to optimize energy consumption across Willhem’s property portfolio.
Data is the raw material of sustainability
Willhem has set ambitious sustainability goals, with plans to reduce its overall energy consumption by 50% by 2030, using a 2015 baseline. Additionally, they have set targets to reach net-zero emissions in Scopes 1 and 2. Danfoss Leanheat® Building is an artificial intelligence-based IoT solution that monitors, controls, and optimizes indoor temperature and energy consumption.
During the last heating season, Willhem worked closely with Danfoss on a pilot test, which demonstrated significant energy savings and a more stable indoor climate, motivating the two companies to scale up the agreement to work together in more buildings.
