AI-Powered Energy Optimization for Sustainable Buildings

Lower operating costs without compromising comfort

Revelop is transforming existing buildings into more sustainable, energy-efficient assets. By combining sustainable redevelopment with Myrspoven's AI-driven optimization technology, the company has reduced energy consumption by 15–40% while lowering operating costs and supporting long-term sustainability goals.

AI-Powered Energy Optimization for Sustainable Buildings

Helping Revelop Reduce Energy Use Across Existing Properties

The real estate sector has a major role to play in reducing global emissions. For property owners, one of the most effective ways to make an immediate impact is to improve the performance of existing buildings.

Myrspoven supports this transition by using AI to optimize heating, cooling, ventilation, and electricity use in commercial properties. In partnership with Revelop, Myrspoven is helping extend the life of older buildings while reducing energy consumption by 15–40%.

Turning Existing Buildings into More Sustainable Assets

Revelop is a Swedish real estate company focused on transforming under-managed “brown” assets into attractive, sustainable “green” locations. Instead of relying on demolition and new construction, Revelop upgrades and reuses existing buildings, reducing resource consumption while improving long-term asset value.

“We often describe our work as turning old, forgotten brown buildings into green spaces,” says Calle Henriksson, Head of Proptech & Digitalization at Revelop.

This approach supports both environmental and financial goals. By extending the life of existing properties, Revelop reduces the need for new materials and construction-related emissions while creating modern, efficient spaces for tenants.

Using AI to Improve Energy Performance

To meet ambitious sustainability requirements, Revelop integrates Myrspoven’s myCoreAI solution across selected properties.

myCoreAI collects and analyzes data from building control systems, weather forecasts, energy prices, and indoor conditions. Based on how each building behaves, the AI continuously adjusts heating, cooling, ventilation, and electricity use to improve efficiency without compromising indoor comfort.

The system can also shift energy usage to more favorable periods. For example, buildings can be heated when electricity prices are lower, helping reduce costs while supporting a more balanced energy grid.

“Buildings are excellent at retaining heat, so heating during off-peak hours helps reduce costs and supports the energy grid,” says Elin Allison, CCO at Myrspoven.

Measurable Savings and Fast Payback

In buildings where myCoreAI has been active, Revelop has achieved energy reductions of 15–40%. As the AI continues to learn from each property, performance can improve further over time.

The financial case is also strong. According to Revelop, the investment in Myrspoven’s AI-driven optimization can reach full payback within 1–1.5 years.

“You can expect a full return on investment within 1–1.5 years,” says Calle Henriksson.

A Scalable Approach to Lower-Carbon Real Estate

The partnership between Revelop and Myrspoven shows how existing buildings can become part of the solution to the real estate sector’s climate challenge.

By combining sustainable redevelopment with AI-driven building optimization, Revelop is reducing energy use, lowering operational costs, and improving the environmental performance of its portfolio one building at a time.
