Institutional real estate fund and asset manager KanAm Grund Group has installed Meteoviva’s smart building control system at the 45-storey Trianon building in Frankfurt am Main under an innovative “Sustainable Buildings as a Service” model which requires no up-front investment.
Two other buildings in the Group’s portfolio – Campus E in Munich and a property on Hammerstrasse in Hamburg, are also expected to be retrofitted with the platform which is forecast to cut indoor HVAC-related energy consumption by between 15 and 20 per cent and reduce carbon emissions.
Uwe Großmann, Managing Director of MeteoViva GmbH, says: “KanAm Grund Group is pursuing an ambitious sustainability strategy in the interests of its investors and tenants. We are pleased to be able to support them in this with our innovative technology and thus jointly take another step towards climate neutrality.”
Manuel Hein, Head of Sustainable Asset Strategy at KanAm Grund Group, adds: “The implementation of appropriate measures in the course of a sustainability strategy at company and property level are just as important to us as the selection of suitable partners.
“With MeteoViva, we have a reliable and competent partner at our side who understands our motivation and goals and supports us in implementing them. The focus is on climate protection – by saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions. In addition, tenants benefit from higher indoor air comfort in the properties as well as lower utility costs.”
