Kinda Municipality has long worked with energy monitoring and has good control over the energy use in its property portfolio.

To complement this monitoring work, the municipality uses BIM Energy to support the analysis of energy use and to simulate the effects of different energy-efficiency measures.

Analyses and scenarios for the entire portfolio

By bringing its properties together in BIM Energy, the municipality can work with analyses and scenarios for the entire property portfolio in one shared system.

Among other things, the tool is used to compare different options for measures and to calculate their energy and financial consequences, as a basis for planning and investment.

Energy calculations for building permits and notifications

The municipality also uses BIM Energy to carry out energy balance calculations for building permit applications and notification cases. This means that both high-level analyses and more detailed energy calculations can be handled within the same work process.

What is BIM Energy?

BIM Energy is a platform for energy analysis and action planning for property portfolios. The platform combines energy simulation with financial analysis so that you not only see where the energy is lost, but also what it costs to fix and what it gives back. The result is a decision basis that works equally well for the energy expert who produces it as for the property manager who has to make the decision. You can find more information at bimenergy.com.
