Building Energy Intelligence
Buildings that respond to price
Most buildings consume whatever they need, whenever they need it, and absorb whatever the market charges for it. ODIN operates the building the other way round: consumption moves with tariffs, anomalies surface before they become invoices, and the target is a 5–15% reduction in energy cost — without touching comfort.

Proven in operation
What the model has already delivered
The energy layer was built and proven inside Westend Shopping Center — a genuine mixed-use environment combining retail, offices and a hotel, with the load profile complexity that comes with it. The same logic transfers directly to office, logistics and industrial assets.
Cost
AI-supported BMS operation, end to end
Not a report telling you where the waste is — an operating layer that acts on it. Setpoints, schedules and sequencing are continuously tuned against actual occupancy and load rather than a static schedule written years ago.
- Continuous setpoint and schedule optimisation
- Load sequencing across systems, not per unit
- Lower OPEX volatility year over year
Price response
Load shifted off peak tariffs
The building follows the market
Energy prices move constantly; most buildings ignore that entirely. ODIN shifts flexible consumption — pre-cooling, heating, charging, storage — away from peak tariff windows and back when rates fall.
- Consumption planned against tariff windows
- Thermal mass used as flexible capacity
- Adapts as rates and contracts change
Anomalies
Caught before they bill
Deviation detected in hours, not quarters
A valve left open, a schedule overridden and never reset, a unit fighting another — the classic invisible losses. Continuous baselining surfaces the deviation while it is still a fix, not yet an invoice.
- Continuous consumption baselining
- Alerts routed to the responsible team
- Verification that the fix actually worked
We ran the experiments so you don't have to
Energy management is a crowded market, and a lot of it does not survive contact with a real building. We spent years trialling platforms, sensors and control strategies in an asset we operate ourselves — and discarded most of them. What remains is what actually moved the meter under real occupancy, real weather and real tariff pressure.
How it works
Your systems stay. ODIN covers them.
Your BMS, meters and plant already produce the data. What is missing is the layer that reads all of it together, decides what to change, and closes the loop back to the building.

ODIN AI Recommendation and Optimization Engine
One platform. Every data stream.Consumption read against tariffs, weather and occupancy at once — then turned into a concrete instruction: what to change, when, and what it saves. This is the layer that removes decision latency, the gap between a reading appearing and someone acting on it.

The challenge
Why this had to be built
Buildings are not short of sensors, meters or dashboards. They are short of a layer that converts what those instruments see into what the plant actually does.
A building management system tells you what the building is doing. It rarely tells you what it should be doing
A BMS is a control system, not a decision system. It executes the schedule it was given — faithfully, for years, long after the tenant mix, the occupancy pattern and the tariff structure have all changed around it. Meanwhile the energy market moves hourly.
The result is a building that is technically well controlled and commercially blind. The gap was never instrumentation. It was the layer above it.
Static schedules, changing reality
Setpoints written at handover, never revisited. The building keeps running a plan that stopped matching the occupancy years ago.
Blind to price
Consumption is planned around comfort and habit, never around tariff windows — so the same kilowatt-hour gets bought at the worst possible moment.
Faults found on the invoice
An override left in place, a valve stuck open, two units fighting each other — discovered a quarter later, when the cost has already been paid.
Reporting instead of acting
ESG dashboards describe consumption beautifully. Almost none of them change a single setpoint as a result.
About us
Built by the people who carry the P&L
ODIN was not built by a software company selling into real estate. It was built inside a working asset, by the team that answers for its performance every month — which is why it solves the problems operators actually have rather than the ones that demo well.
That team sits within DEVO Group, one of Central Europe's established real estate developers and operators. Every element of the energy layer earned its place by working at Westend Shopping Center first, under real occupancy, real weather and real cost pressure.
It also means the incentives are aligned in an unusual way: we are not paid to install technology. We are measured on the same number you are.

FAQ
Questions we get most often
Request briefing
The briefing is a working session, not a sales presentation. We discuss your building's energy profile, examine where consumption, tariffs and operational constraints create unnecessary costs, and explore the opportunities for measurable energy savings. During the session, you will get direct answers from the team operating the reference asset and delivering energy optimisation in real-world environments.
