eSMART’s experience in obtaining the loan

Gaining the trust of the government-sponsored Technology Fund was crucial, as the fund’s approval proved highly influential in interactions with major institutional clients, reinforcing eSMART’s credibility in the competitive market for intelligent home management systems. The Fund guided eSMART in quantifying CO2 emission savings, aligning with their commitment to sustainability. Investors appreciated the measurable impact, enhancing eSMART’s appeal in the market. Empowering investors, eSMART leveraged the non-dilutive financing options provided by the Technology Fund, giving equity investors a unique advantage. This approach improved eSMART’s financial position and strengthened its performance profile.

The Technology Fund streamlined due diligence processes, allowing eSMART to accelerate subsequent equity fundraising. Efficiency highlighted the fund’s commitment to fostering innovation and growth. During the webinar, Fabrizio Lo Conte shared some advice for companies or organizations wishing to obtain funding from the Technology Fund:

1. Contact the Technology Fund to assess chances of success before applying.
2. Familiarize yourself with the due diligence process.

At the heart of this solution is the eSMART-connect unit, the central piece that allows control of your entire living space at a glance. This ingenious device interconnects your home, seamlessly coordinating all modules hidden behind switches and sensors. With this central unit directly integrated into your apartment’s electrical panel, the eSMART application on your smartphone becomes the intuitive gateway allowing you to regulate temperature, adjust lighting, and respond to the intercom—all remotely. Its simple and discreet installation ensures a seamless user experience, transforming your home into an intelligent space where total control is literally at your fingertips.

eSMART aims to address renovation challenges with this solution

Whether it’s temperature adjustment, lighting or security systems, eSMART-connect offers intuitive, efficient management. Using the eSMART app on a smartphone, you can monitor and control these parameters remotely, offering unrivalled flexibility. Imagine being able to preheat your home in winter on the way to work, or switch off forgotten lights when you go on vacation. Remote control creates an intelligent, personalized environment, improving not only convenience, but also the energy efficiency of the home. The eSMART-connect solution offers the advantage of being easy to install in both new buildings and renovations, without additional cables or construction work. Perfectly invisible modules are installed behind electrical switches or detectors. They use existing electrical wiring to communicate with your app. All home equipment connected to these modules can be controlled from your smartphone (iPhone, Android) or personal tablet (iPad, Android).

As soon as you move in, simply download the eSMART-live app and connect your smartphone. Download the free app via the QR code or the website app.myesmart.com.

You’ll find the eSMART-connect solution in our next project: the Papieri-Areal residential area on Lake Zug. Here, the Cham Group is developing a complete new district of around 11 hectares in six stages, with around 1’000 apartments:

What is the Minergie Standard?

Minergie is a Swiss label that certifies buildings meeting strict criteria for energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality. The standard was established in 1998 to encourage the construction of low-energy consumption buildings while ensuring a high level of comfort for occupants. Minergie buildings aim to reduce energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and heating costs while providing a healthy and pleasant indoor environment.

eSMART as an Energy Monitoring Solution Provider

Founded in 2011, eSMART equipped the first Eco-Quartier in French-speaking Switzerland with a multifluid energy monitoring solution, including hot water, cold water, heating, and electricity.

Monitoring for improvement is what the concept of Minergie Monitoring describes. More broadly, Minergie Monitoring is an extension of the Minergie standard aimed at ensuring that certified buildings maintain their energy performance over time, after their completion. Our solutions are among the self-declared providers of Minergie Monitoring solutions, as we offer systems that enable continuous monitoring of energy consumption data and also help identify any deviations from set goals and take corrective actions if necessary.

List of certified Minergie Monitoring companies, including eSMART Technologies (see page 4: Link to the list)

Minergie P-Eco: Toward More Eco-Friendly Construction

Minergie P-Eco is an evolution of the Minergie standard that places a greater emphasis on the overall sustainability of the building. In addition to energy efficiency criteria, Minergie P-Eco incorporates broader environmental considerations such as the choice of construction materials, water management, and biodiversity. This standard aims to promote holistic construction and minimize environmental impact throughout the building’s lifecycle.

The Minergie standard is an essential reference for the construction of energy-efficient buildings in Switzerland and beyond. Thanks to its key principles focused on energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality, Minergie contributes to reducing CO2 emissions and preserving natural resources. With extensions such as Minergie Monitoring certification, we aim to highlight current sustainability and energy efficiency challenges in the construction sector.

At eSMART, our goal is to achieve Minergie Monitoring certification because we firmly believe that stakeholders in the construction and building industry must act with a sustainable vision. That’s why we support construction and real estate companies in taking this step towards a more responsible future. The eSMART solution allows, throughout the entire lifecycle of the building, not only during construction but also during its operational phase, to monitor the energy consumption of the building and take appropriate measures to reduce it. While the Minergie P-Eco standard ensures an energy-efficient building concept, residents’ behaviors are often a source of excessive consumption. The real-time display offered by eSMART to residents raises awareness of the impact of their energy consumption and encourages the reduction of energy waste. The eSMART solution provides residents with a standard household consumption reference and encourages behavioral changes through simple tools (reducing heating when absent for an extended period, displaying current consumption, etc.) for everyone’s daily consumption behavior. Pension funds and investors are able to conduct energy analyses of their real estate portfolios and meet their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments.

One can only improve what one measures. Based on this maxim, we have developed an intuitive solution to enable residents to reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.
