aedifion Achieves Smart Solution Certification from Smart Building Collective

How this award-winning platform is transforming building operations — and how you can leverage such solutions in your portfolio

At the Smart Building Collective | Certification, we are committed to recognizing and elevating the most impactful technologies driving the built environment forward. Today, we are thrilled to announce that aedifion has officially achieved our Solution Certification, a mark of excellence that highlights their outstanding capabilities in delivering smarter, more sustainable, and more efficient building operations.

aedifion is a leading cloud-based platform for advanced building operations. By unlocking, processing, and analyzing data from existing building systems (HVAC, energy, BMS, IoT), aedifion provides powerful tools for:

Real-time monitoring and transparency — offering a deep, portfolio-wide view of system performance.
Automated fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) — identifying inefficiencies and maintenance issues before they escalate.
AI-powered optimization and predictive analytics — continuously tuning systems to improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
Seamless integration with a wide range of existing protocols and devices – helping preserve investments in legacy infrastructure.

“Digital buildings and artificial intelligence will play a key role in the energy transition. With our software solution, we can make a decisive contribution to the decarbonization of real estate and the preservation of its long-term value. Together with our loyal existing investors and our new lead investor Eurazeo, we will continue to expand our solution and establish aedifion as the leading platform for digital building operations optimization across Europe.” Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fütterer, CEO | aedifion GmbH

Buildings are under pressure to perform. From tightening ESG regulations and rising energy costs to the growing demand for healthier, more productive spaces, owners and operators need smarter solutions that deliver tangible outcomes. aedifion provides:

Operational efficiency: Reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions, and operating costs.

Regulatory & ESG readiness: Streamline data needed for CSRD, EU Taxonomy, or GRESB reporting.

Tenant experience: Optimize comfort, air quality, and responsiveness.

Future-proofing: Create an adaptable foundation for new business models, energy markets, and occupant services.

It’s exactly these strengths — coupled with a robust commitment to open data, user experience, and measurable ROI — that earned aedifion their Solution Certification from our independent framework.

Elizabeth Nelson, Head of Research & Innovation and Co-Founder at Smart Building Collective, “Certification is about more than just ticking boxes; it’s about showcasing solutions that genuinely raise the bar for smart building performance. aedifion does exactly that.”

We’re proud to welcome aedifion into our growing ecosystem of certified solutions driving smarter, healthier, and more sustainable buildings. Their success underscores the incredible impact that intelligent, data-driven operations platforms can have on our industry.

Nicholas White, Managing Partner Smart Building Collective reflected on the certification: “aedifion exemplifies what we look for in a certified solution — measurable efficiency gains, improved occupant experiences, and a clear pathway to sustainability and compliance.”

Buildings don’t operate in isolation — neither should solutions. In their certification submission, aedifion highlighted a powerful reality: “The real estate industry is starting to work in ecosystems.”

This shift reflects a broader understanding that no building — or technology — exists in a vacuum. Owners, occupiers, facility managers, and technology providers are increasingly collaborating in integrated ecosystems to deliver buildings that are not only efficient, but also responsive to evolving human and environmental needs.

Platforms like aedifion thrive in this context by connecting diverse data streams, bridging gaps between systems, and enabling multiple stakeholders to work from a shared source of truth. It’s an approach that turns isolated assets into dynamic, interconnected networks — unlocking greater value, resilience, and adaptability across entire portfolios, concepts the Smart Building Collective is founded on.
