D^2EPC focuses on next-generation digital EPCs, and IMPAWATT addresses energy culture change — both centered on how buildings communicate energy performance to users.
SEnerCon GmbH
Berlin SME specializing in digital building energy performance tools, next-generation EPCs, and consumer energy engagement solutions.
Their core work
SEnerCon is a Berlin-based energy consultancy SME specializing in building energy performance, energy efficiency tools, and consumer engagement strategies. They develop and implement ICT solutions that help building owners and occupants understand and reduce energy consumption — from personalized energy advice platforms to next-generation Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). Their work bridges the gap between complex building energy data and actionable guidance for non-technical users.
What they specialise in
Eco-Bot developed personalized ICT tools for active consumer engagement toward sustainable energy, while IMPAWATT focused on implementation actions to shift energy culture.
D^2EPC (2020-2023) introduced BIM, GIS, building digital twins, and smart monitoring systems into their EPC work, signaling a move toward data-rich building intelligence.
SUPERSEDE (2015-2018) addressed personalized software evolution using contextual data and end-user feedback, a capability that feeds into their user-facing energy tools.
How they've shifted over time
SEnerCon began with general software personalization (SUPERSEDE, 2015) and consumer-facing energy engagement tools (Eco-Bot, 2017), focusing on behavioral change and user interaction design. By 2020, their work shifted decisively toward digitized building performance — incorporating BIM, GIS, digital twins, smart readiness indicators, and lifecycle assessment (LCA/LCC) into next-generation EPCs. The trajectory shows a clear move from soft engagement tools to hard, data-driven building intelligence systems.
SEnerCon is moving toward comprehensive digital building assessment — combining BIM, digital twins, and smart monitoring with EPCs — positioning them for the EU's Building Renovation Wave and EPBD recast requirements.
How they like to work
SEnerCon operates exclusively as a project participant, never as coordinator, which suggests they contribute specialized consultancy expertise rather than driving large research agendas. With 33 unique partners across 14 countries in just 4 projects, they join broad European consortia and are comfortable working in diverse, multi-national teams. Their consistent participant role across varied funding schemes (IA, RIA, CSA) indicates they are a reliable delivery partner who adapts to different project formats.
SEnerCon has built a wide network of 33 unique partners across 14 countries through just 4 projects, indicating they consistently join large, geographically diverse consortia rather than working in tight clusters. Their reach spans broadly across Europe with no single dominant geographic partnership axis.
What sets them apart
SEnerCon sits at the intersection of energy consultancy and digital building tools — a niche where many organizations do one or the other, but few combine both with direct EU project experience. Their strength is translating complex building energy data into user-facing products, making them valuable for any consortium that needs to demonstrate real-world impact and end-user adoption. As a Berlin-based SME, they bring practical market knowledge of the German energy efficiency landscape, one of Europe's most regulated building energy markets.
Highlights from their portfolio
