Welcome to Egain

Creating the leading platform in Europe to manage all building connectivity

Property management specialists IWMAC, Egain and Cebyc recently joined forces to become leaders within proptech in Europe. The vision of the new company is to make a big impact in the fight against climate change by offering the smartest and most cost-efficient proptech platform on the market. Through innovative connectivity that monitors, controls and optimizes both the use of energy and organisations, Europe’s existing building mass is now set to become part of the solution for the future.

We know that buildings account for 40% of Europe’s energy consumption and that 36% of emissions emanate from them. We also know that 75% of Europe’s buildings are energy inefficient and that 95% of these will still be in use by 2050. In addition, 20% of all food in Europe is wasted or lost in production and distribution.

These troubling facts represent a great opportunity for us as a united force within property management. Bringing together our specialized expertise and technical platforms, we go to market with an unparalleled offer when it comes to energy and resource optimization.

We aim to turn these challenges into opportunities.

Around 31,000 commercial, industrial, residential and public buildings and 3,000 grocery stores in Northern Europe are already daily users of either an IWMAC, Egain or Cebyc solution for various energy control levels, efficiency and reporting. In 2020 the combined turnover of the three companies exceeded € 18 million. The company has offices in seven countries with a total of 130 employees.

A better world

A better planet

Buildings account for 41% of the world’s energy consumption and 36% of the CO2 emissions. We are committed to change that!

Our goal is to stop all unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions and all unnecessary energy use in the heating of residential buildings.

Since the first system was installed in 2003, tons of unnecessary CO2 emissions have already been avoided and energy has been used where and when it is most useful. But this is only the beginning. Tomorrow looks even brighter.

Sustainability

How Everything Started

Our journey started when entrepreneur and innovator Thorbjörn Geiser discovered how big the deficiencies in the climate control of buildings were. He realized that energy use in residential buildings was much higher than necessary. The available systems only based their data on the outdoor temperature to regulate the indoor climate. They therefore failed to utilize the building’s own ability to store heat and take into account other parameters that also affect the climate inside of a property. In addition, they could not adjust the heating for future weather conditions.

Thorbjörn decided to change that. He started a collaboration with a weather institute and developed technology and cloud-based software that could optimize indoor climate and energy use in a much more efficient way.

Egain was founded in 2003 and has since then energy-optimized over 300,000 apartments in 11 countries around Europe.

Our story

We’re working to apply the power of technology and expertise to ensure corporate responsibility, safeguard human rights, and protect our planet. Our policies and practices reflect a commitment to making a positive impact in communities where we operate.

This commitment is also central to why many of our employees come to work every day. Because we know that the more successful we are – the better for the environment, today and in the future.

We believe that being a responsible company means respecting the interests of all our stakeholders. This involves listening, actively responding to concerns, being honest in our expectations and being fair in the reporting of our performance. We are equally committed to our policy of reducing our carbon footprint and promoting sustainability.

Together, we shape the future with intelligent energy optimization of residential buildings – for a better planet today and for the generations of tomorrow.

Egain Sustainable City Award

At Egain, we work every day to help achieve the goals of sustainable development presented by the UN and signed by over 130 countries. Buildings account for 41% of Europe’s energy use and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, urbanization puts even more pressure on cities’ ability to meet people’s needs. We believe that the road to success goes through the smart city and wants to highlight companies and organizations that contribute to the goals. There is no quick answer. Creating a better future is something we must do together. Therefore, we choose to highlight good examples where one has actively chosen to be part of the solution.
