- Automated operational workflows, along with preventive, condition-based, and predictive maintenance.
- New occupant/tenant services through personalized comfort control apps; App-based tenant service requests and visitor management.

Facilio and Evogy’s synergetic operating model will enable clients to unlock the power of building data and make real-time performance changes; to optimize costs, energy usage, and productivity. End users and occupants will benefit from superior experiences and continuous responsive control.
Stefano Zanin, Evogy CTO and co-founder, explains: “There are huge opportunities to realize cost savings through energy efficiency, with the power of technology like IoT & Cloud. Using Facilio’s cloud-based platform, we will enhance our digital energy services via a command and control center, to optimize asset performance at enterprise scale, and fulfill the needs of large portfolio customers.”
