Ento
Virtual energy advisors for commercial buildings, no new hardware
About
Ento is a Danish climate-tech startup whose software monitors and analyzes energy consumption in buildings and automatically suggests optimizations, without installing new hardware. It combines historical and current consumption data with weather, building information and opening hours, using AI to prioritize where portfolio managers should focus.
The company was monitoring around 6,000 commercial and public buildings at seed stage, backed by byFounders and Voyager. Limitation: public information is thin on pricing and on measured savings figures, so treat ROI claims as indicative rather than guaranteed.
