About Eufemia
In Oslo’s dynamic Bjørvika district stands the Eufemia building. A modern eight-story office complex owned by KLP Eiendom, one of the Nordic region’s largest real estate companies. This BREEAM-NOR Excellent certified building houses major tenants including Microsoft and PwC across its 22,400 square meters.
Despite its green credentials and proper initial installation, the building presented an opportunity for optimization: ventilation systems were operating on traditional fixed schedules during nights and weekends when offices had minimal occupancy.

ProptechOS provided connectivity of each electricity consuming equipment to the flex market while significantly reducing the number of integrations needed. ProptechOS also provided support for value-added services such as predictive modeling of future electricity consumption.
Based on stored historical data of electrical usage of charging stations and buildings in ProptechOS, a predictive model of future consumption was calculated for the Vasakronan portfolio. The model also predicted the minimum possible reduction of electricity to keep mission critical equipment running during peak demand and calculate the possible savings of using the flex market. Combined, the functionality supported Vasakronan’s capacity planning and demand forecasting, further reducing costs.
The project unfolded by adopting ProptechOS as a coordinating platform which allowed Vasakronan to create digital twins of their energy consuming equipment such as heating pumps, ventilation, and electrical vehicle charging stations. The digital twins were then connected to Entelios and further to the sthlmflex market. ProptechOS interoperability ensured that integrations between the electrical vehicle chargers and other systems to Entelios would be in place for future expansion of the scope of devices to be connected, reducing the time and cost of implementation due to the significant reduction of needed integrations.
Target the low hanging fruit with thorough analysis and data-driven configuration optimization. Utilize advanced proptech applications to identify quick-win opportunities across your entire portfolio such as optimizing configurations and fixing failing equipment. By leveraging data insights, you can fine-tune these basic elements to achieve immediate and significant energy reductions. This strategic approach not only provides rapid returns but also builds a solid foundation and a high resolution benchmark for more complex energy-saving initiatives. Embrace this method to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and pave the way for sustained energy management success.
Result
For Vasakronan the project had a twofold impact – more efficient power consumption management, which could result in lower purchasing price of electricity and secondly, mitigating capacity shortage in Stockholm city by optimizing consumption.
Vasakronan’s continuous focus on sustainability leveraging ProptechOS contributed to the Sergelhusen building in central Stockholm to achieve the world’s third highest LEED sustainability score.
Emphasis for Vasakronan has been to assure that the solution is applicable and scalable to the rest of their portfolio by reusing integrations which minimizes time-to-market and costs to connect additional buildings and systems such as electrical vehicle chargers.
