KUGU Home GmbH

KUGU Home GmbH is a German PropTech company founded in 2016 with a mission to drive the decarbonization of the real estate industry. The company provides a comprehensive digital platform that leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence to enhance energy efficiency in buildings. The idea for KUGU originated when co-founder Christopher von Gumppenberg recognized the immense potential of energy data beyond simple billing, envisioning a future where this data could be used to make buildings more efficient and ultimately carbon-neutral. Today, KUGU stands as an innovative force in the German real estate market, offering solutions that cater to housing companies, energy providers, and property managers.

The core of KUGU's offering is its modular SaaS platform, which provides a suite of tools for digital building management. This includes solutions for submetering, allowing for the independent and efficient billing of heating and water costs. The platform also features an energy management module for the automated, demand-based control of heating systems, which can lead to energy savings of up to 30%. Furthermore, KUGU's energy monitoring and analytics modules enable the continuous tracking and optimization of energy consumption and system efficiency. By combining a web-based portal, IoT data collectors, and a tenant app, KUGU makes building data accessible in real-time, fostering transparency and enabling data-driven decisions to reduce CO2 emissions and operational costs. The company's technology is currently utilized in over 12,000 buildings, demonstrating a significant impact on energy conservation.
