What PHYSEE Technologies does

Next Sense is an AI-driven building performance optimization SaaS platform headquartered in Amsterdam that helps commercial real estate owners, operators, and occupiers decarbonize their portfolios through continuous energy monitoring, expert validation, and autonomous building control. The product is delivered through the Building Intelligence Center (BIC), a unified platform composed of three integrated solutions: a Data Foundation that connects to existing BMS, smart meters, IoT devices, and third-party systems through a Digital Twin engine; AI Agents, supported by human Building Performance Experts, that monitor buildings 24/7 to detect inefficiencies and identify Energy Conservation Measures; and Autonomous Building Control, which uses predictive physics-informed models to dynamically adjust building systems in real-time. A natural-language Building AI Assistant provides conversational access to building insights, and an ROI Calculator serves as a top-of-funnel demand generation tool.

The company operates a subscription-based enterprise SaaS model with quote-based annual pricing sold primarily through direct enterprise field sales. It targets three primary buyer personas — Occupiers, Owners & Investors (REITs and institutional asset managers), and Operators — across the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, and the United Arab Emirates. Named enterprise customers include EDGE, Ardian, Merlin Properties, JET, Pimco, Colliers, Vastint, and ING. The platform connects 220+ buildings covering 1M+ sqm of optimized space, with disclosed portfolio outcomes of 3.2M kWh saved and 1,040 tonnes of CO2 savings identified. The company holds ISO 27001 and B Corp certifications, and has been recognized via the Sifted 250 Global 2025 (#84 globally, #3 Netherlands), the MIPIM 2026 Global ESG Award (EcoBalance category), the DREA Award at EXPO Real 2025, and the PropertyNL Innovation Award 2025.
