Intelligent energy systems for residential buildings

Tuggen SZ, November 2024

Lynus has founded Enerfin AG, which develops and operates tenant electricity systems for residential properties. With intelligent software for optimizing energy flows, the company offers benefits for tenants, landlords and the electricity grid.

Lynus has founded Enerfin AG. The Tuggen-based technology company, which specializes in energy systems for the optimal use of renewable energy, announced in a press release that the new subsidiary will be responsible for tenant electricity contracting. Specifically, Enerfin will plan, finance, set up and operate tenant electricity systems. Property owners will share in the profits. The new company already has 300 residential properties with around 2,400 residential units in its portfolio.

Enerfin uses Lynus software and hardware to optimize energy systems in residential buildings. The technology company’s software uses machine learning “to predict and control the energy flows in the building – right through to the connection to our virtual power plant”, explains Paul Hauser, CEO of Enerfin and Lynus, in the press release. “In this way, renewable electricity is used optimally.”

By connecting the properties’ energy systems to Lynus’ virtual power plant, property owners can realize a higher profit than with conventional tenant electricity contracting, writes Lynus. The background to this is the marketing of the flexibility that results from the forecast of energy generation and consumption created using machine learning. “Enerfin combines benefits for tenants and landlords with the advantages of intelligent tenant electricity solutions for the electricity grid and the climate and makes the whole thing as simple as possible for users on both the supplier and consumer side,” says Hauser.
