iMTED enables real time data visualization with consumption forecasting, displays energy hot-spots and consumption status of multiple buildings in one dashboard. Therefore, the user do not need to spend huge time to detect system faults from large and complex data. The software uses Adaptive AI technology, which can continuously self-learn from the new data and user inputs reduce number of false alarms with time. Overall, iMTED supports the reduction of energy consumption by up to 20%, the identification of energy optimization potentials and strategic decision-making.

Customers: Facility management of universities, private companies, municipalities, real-state, shopping malls and similar.

Present status: The team is developing their solution with two pilot projects at universities of BW. They are also supported by start-up ecosystem such as TTI GmbH, AXEL, arise, ENI, NXTGN, TRACES to shape their business idea.

Market chance: Primary focus of iMTED is 21 million non-residential buildings within Germany and then gradually extend to Europe.

Financial planning: The team is planned to be funded by “Junge Innovatoren” (evaluation is open) or EXIST-Gründungsstipendium and BW Pre-seed. The money will be spent mainly on product development, marketing and infrastructure.

Sustainable Impact: By minimizing energy waste and associated CO2, it fulfills 3 sustainable development goals 6, 7, 13.
