Green Fusion

What Green Fusion does

Green Fusion GmbH is a Berlin-based B2B SaaS company founded in 2021 that operates an AI-powered energy management system (EMS) for the German residential housing sector (Wohnungswirtschaft). The company's 360° Energiemanagement-Plattform digitizes and optimizes heating systems — conventional gas, oil, district heating, and CHP as well as regenerative heat pumps, PV, and battery storage — across multi-family residential portfolios. Two product surfaces sit on the platform: the Energiespar-Pilot, which analyzes ~4 weeks of operating data and continuously optimizes the heating curve of conventional systems, and the KI-Plattform für Sektorkopplung, a manufacturer-independent AI "brain" that coordinates heat pumps, PV, storage, and grid with a 5-second adjustment cycle and integrates dynamic electricity tariffs. The underlying technology is a reinforcement learning algorithm developed jointly over three years with TU Berlin's Hermann-Rietschel-Institut and funded by a €1.3M BMWK research grant; the AI is trained on anonymized operational data from approximately 4,000 buildings across Germany and delivers 8% additional energy savings beyond conventional engineer-driven optimization.

The platform is TÜV-certified under §71a of the German Building Energy Act (GEG), which exempts residential buildings using Green Fusion from mandatory heating inspections under §60b GEG — a recurring regulatory benefit to housing company customers. Green Fusion serves housing companies, municipal providers, and residential cooperatives (Wohnungsgenossenschaften), with named customers including Rheinwohnungsbau (191 heating systems across Düsseldorf and Duisburg), KHW (80+ systems / 1,300+ units through 2027), Howoge, Aroundtown, and Adler Group. Reported customer outcomes include 14–16% average energy savings on residential buildings, 25% increase in solar self-consumption, and ~€20,674 in annual electricity cost savings at a 55-heat-pump quarter.

The company generates revenue through recurring SaaS subscriptions for the energy management platform, supplemented by professional services for onboarding and commissioning, and — since May 2026 — an "Installation as a Service" model in partnership with AKF Bank that finances hardware and installation costs so housing companies can deploy without upfront CapEx. Distribution is enterprise field sales targeting portfolio-wide deals at large housing companies, supported by a partner ecosystem including aedifion (commercial EMS), Optiml (portfolio transition planning), termios (smart thermostats / hydraulic balancing), and Huawei (international industrial storage, including a December 2025 launch in Argentina). Total disclosed funding is approximately €12M (Series A ~$12.5M in January 2025 led by HV Capital and XAnge, plus a €1.3M BMWK grant and smaller Brandenburg state grants), and the company employs 11–50 people.
