The Nemetschek Group, one of the world’s leading software providers for the architecture, engineering, construction, and building operations (AEC/O) industry, today announced that its subsidiary Spacewell, headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium, has acquired 100% of DEXMA. DEXMA, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, is a fast-growing provider of innovative SaaS solutions with artificial intelligence/machine learning capabilities for energy data management. The company enables its more than 4,000 end customers in 30 countries worldwide to effectively measure, monitor, and manage their energy consumption and costs.
“According to the global status report by the United Nations, buildings account for 30 percent of final energy use and 28 percent of global carbon emissions. This acquisition is a huge plus for customers aiming to become more sustainable in their operations. Energy management is an important element in creating truly autonomous buildings that automatically adapt their behaviors to the occupants and stakeholders,” says Koen Matthijs, Chief Division Officer, Operate & Manage Division at the Nemetschek Group. “DEXMA perfectly complements our existing portfolio for facility management, property management, and smart building. Adding energy management gives us a strong competitive edge. Our customers benefit from a complete solution to operate their buildings.”
