Betterspace develops smart software solutions that make buildings more energy-efficient, digital, and unser-friendly.

With better.energy, users can make their non-residential buildings more energy efficient. The system automatically controls radiators and fan coil units, whether it is a hotel or office building, a clinic or care facility, or a school or other educational institution, better.energy reduces energy consumption.
The online management platform better.energy helps users manage their buildings. It allows them to keep an eye on their company, locations, devices, users, and better.energy modules, enabling the automated control of radiators and fan coil units as well as continuous monitoring of energy consumption.
Hotels also benefit from the better.guest digital guest directory. With its telephone feature, chat, push messages, green option, and ordering function, the digital assistant simplifies communication with hotel guests, helps generate additional revenue, and reduces costs.

With its intelligent software solutions, Betterspace creates digital, connected, sustainable, and efficient places.

The Katholische Landvolkshochschule Petersberg (KLVHS Petersberg) is a church-operated educational and conference centre dedicated to supporting people in rural areas through programs that promote sustainable action, social engagement, and personal development. The institution comprises of two buildings: a historic one from 1953 and a modern extension completed in 2000. Together, they have 50 rooms accommodating up to 100 people, along with 12 conference and event spaces of varying sizes. As an EMAS-certified (EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) organisation, the institution is committed to continually enhancing its sustainability performance, which motivated the search for a solution to improve the efficiency of its buildings. The facility primarily uses wood chippings for energy, with oil heating serving only as a backup during particularly cold winters. Energy usage had not been systematically analysed or optimised. Radiators were manually maintained and adjusted, leading to inefficiencies and unnecessary workload. Heating was not aligned with room occupancy, requiring staff to regularly check and regulate thermostats by hand.
To address these issues, KLVHS Petersberg aimed to upgrade its old radiators by making them smart and data-driven. The goal was to use room-specific data to better control heating, reduce energy consumption, and further enhance sustainability. For this transformation, the institution partnered with Betterspace to implement a smart energy solution.
