Energima

What Energima does

Energima Gruppen AS is a Norwegian privately held multi-disciplinary technical services group focused on indoor climate and energy solutions for commercial properties (yrkesbygg). Founded in 2003 by the Magnussen brothers, the company operates through approximately 40 wholly-owned subsidiaries covering ventilation, cooling, heating, plumbing, electrical, solar energy, energy consulting, building automation, and industrial process climate solutions. The group employs 500-570 staff across regional offices spanning Oslo, Drammen, Sandnes, Skjetten, Molde, Ålesund, Notodden, Trondheim, Elverum, and Nordland.

The company's technological centerpiece is Properate, a proprietary building operating system developed in partnership with Cognite AS. Properate integrates multi-protocol sensor data (BACnet/IP, Modbus, M-Bus, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi) with a digital Common Data Foundation to deliver autonomous building control, energy optimization, predictive maintenance (including machine learning-based filter replacement forecasting), and 24/7 monitoring through a dedicated operations center. Properate is the differentiating technology layer across the otherwise traditional HVAC service portfolio.

Energima generates revenue through five streams: recurring service contracts (subscription-based maintenance), one-time project and enterprise contracts (new construction, rehabilitation, tenant adaptations), managed energy and operations monitoring services, turnkey solar photovoltaic hardware installations, and subscription-based smart building services via Properate. Pricing is bespoke per engagement with annual billing cadence for service contracts; no public pricing exists. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by dedicated account managers, with a primary focus on commercial property owners, facility managers, and developers across Norway.
