SOLINTEL M & P SL

Their core work

SOLINTEL is a Spanish technology SME specializing in energy-efficient building renovation, smart building management systems, and demand response integration. They develop and deploy ICT solutions for building energy optimization — from BIM-based renovation toolkits to occupant behavior modeling and building energy management systems (BEMS). Their work spans the full renovation value chain: geothermal heating/cooling systems, building envelope upgrades, renewable energy integration, and intelligent energy management for both residential and public buildings.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 phase (2015-2017), SOLINTEL focused on foundational building energy efficiency — ICT clustering for EeB communities, occupant behavior modeling, energy simulation tools, geothermal systems, and energy performance contracting models. From 2017 onward, their work shifted decisively toward demand response, smart building interoperability, and digital renovation tools like BIM toolkits. Their most recent projects emphasize consumer empowerment, human-centric energy management, and data interoperability across building systems — reflecting the sector's move from hardware-centric retrofit to intelligent, user-driven building operation.

SOLINTEL is moving from physical building renovation toward data-driven, interoperable smart building management — making them a strong partner for projects requiring digital twins, demand flexibility, or occupant-centric energy systems.

How they like to work

SOLINTEL operates primarily as an active partner (10 of 13 projects) but has proven coordination capability, leading 3 projects including their largest (RenoZEB, EUR 903K). With 123 unique consortium partners across 28 countries, they are a well-connected hub rather than a repeat-partner organization. Their broad network and mix of IA (7), CSA (3), and RIA (3) projects suggest they are comfortable in both deployment-oriented innovation actions and research settings.

SOLINTEL has collaborated with 123 unique partners across 28 countries, making them one of the more extensively networked SMEs in the building energy space. Their reach is pan-European with no visible geographic concentration beyond their Spanish base.

What sets them apart

SOLINTEL combines deep technical knowledge in building energy systems with strong ICT and software integration capabilities — a rare combination among construction-sector SMEs. They bridge the gap between physical renovation (envelopes, geothermal, HVAC) and digital building management (BIM, BEMS, demand response), making them valuable in projects that need both worlds. Their coordination experience and wide European network make them an accessible, proven partner for consortium builders targeting the renovation wave.

Highlights from their portfolio

• RenoZEB
  Their largest project (EUR 903K) and a coordination role — focused on accelerating zero-energy building renovation with integrated envelope and renewable solutions.
• GEOTeCH
  Coordinated a geothermal technology project with a substantial EUR 537K budget, developing plug-and-play shallow geothermal systems for buildings.
• BIM4EEB
  Addressed the critical gap of BIM interoperability for building renovation — connecting digital construction tools with energy performance, a key enabler for the EU renovation wave.
