Climkit offers a modular online platform for energy management in buildings. It enables automated recording, billing, and optimization of energy consumption (electricity, heat, mobility, etc.) and supports sustainable, autonomous, and flexible building solutions. Thanks to exclusively open systems and protocols—such as Modbus and OCPP—devices from different manufacturers can be integrated, exchanged, or expanded without being tied to a single provider. This guarantees maximum independence and investment security for owners and administrators. We also offer our solution as a white label product for energy suppliers.
