We are convinced that energy efficiency is the key to the energy revolution. That is why we comprehensively optimize the use of your building technology and want to work with you to operate one million buildings around the world more sustainably. Because we enjoy thinking big and combining the latest technology with a positive vision.
By the way, in line with our approach, the name aedifion is derived from the Latin word „aedificium“, which means building.

We are making buildings part of the solution for a livable planet.
Therefore we create outstanding solutions for improving building performance and scale them – customer by customer and building after building.
That´s why we are the most sensible solution for optimal building performance in tomorrow's energy system.
Our roots are in research. We rely on the latest scientific findings and are experts in our field. By integrating state-of-the-art technologies into our software, we ensure that our customers always benefit from advanced solutions and the best possible results.
We stand for simplicity in a complex world. The plug-and-play installation of aedifion solutions is easy to implement, and our frontend is intuitive and user-friendly. Our business and billing model is based on a monthly license fee and offers full transparency for all parties involved.
No matter how long the journey, we make sure everything works reliably. Our customers can count on clear communication, realistic expectations, and the certainty that we only promise what we can actually deliver.
We are passionate about what we do and always strive for the best possible solution. Our enthusiasm is something our customers and partners can truly feel.
We are committed to a planet worth living on and are convinced that modern technology allows us to make a climate-positive impact. That’s why sustainability is at the core of our solutions, services, and daily work.
aedifion GmbH was founded in September 2017 out of a research project at RWTH Aachen University by Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fütterer, Felix Dorner, Dr. Jan Henrik Ziegeldorf and Erik Brümmendorf.
In 2018, we have transferred the findings of our research into a market-ready product and were able to convince the first customers of our software.
With aedifion.analytics we were launching AI-based analytics in 2019 for the first time, making expert engineering knowledge accessible to our customers via the platform.
With the launch of aedifion.controls in 2021, we created the first complete solution for a Net Zero building operation in the German market.
In unserer Series-A-Runde konnten wir Anfang 2023 spannende Investoren für uns und unsere Lösung gewinnen. Durch das frische Kapital erweitern wir unser Produktangebot und möchten die europäische Marktführerschaft erreichen.
Mit der Einführung von aedifion.dynamics im Jahr 2025 bieten wir erstmals eine Komplettlösung zur dynamischen Strompreisoptimierung. Unser System vernetzt alle Energiesysteme eines Gebäudes und sorgt für einen flexiblen, kosteneffizienten Strombezug, der den Eigenverbrauch maximiert und Betriebskosten senkt.
Was mit vier kreativen Köpfen begann, ist inzwischen eine Firma mit rund 90 Mitarbeitenden, die sich um den sicheren und innovations getriebenen Betrieb der Plattform sowie alle Services kümmern. Über 400 spannende Projekte zeigen, dass die aedifion-Story eine Erfolgsgeschichte ist.
We always have our finger on the pulse of the times and are constantly on the lookout for forward-looking trends and technological innovations that will help our customers get ahead. That is why we are involved in several federal research projects.
We want to actively shape the energy system of the future and drive new innovations. That's why we incorporate innovations and the latest findings into our solutions to make buildings an active part of the energy transition.
We have our origins in science, it is second nature to us. After years of preliminary work at RWTH Aachen University, we were able to bring our vision in the shape of the cloud platform from research to the market with the help of the Exist research transfer.
