Information
Cascada was specially designed for municipalities and cities, and for all places where data from a large number of properties or apartments should flow together in one place. It supports this:
Reduce energy expenditure
- As you reduce energy consumption, your operating costs are reduced. As practical examples from local authorities show, energy requirements can be reduced by up to two thirds. This reduces the burden on your budget year after year.
Enable access to state subsidies
- Subsidy programs support you with financing so that you can implement energy modernization sustainably and economically.
Living up to our responsibility as a role model
- By taking responsibility for climate protection, you set a good example for the citizens in your municipality.
Protecting the climate and environment
- As an owner of public buildings, you are an important player in the energy transition and climate protection targets: The building stock in our country is to become almost climate-neutral by 2045. To achieve this, we need to reduce CO2 emissions in the building sector by 68 percent by 2030.
Become a more attractive place to live and do business
- Your municipal and social infrastructure will be brought up to date. You will become more attractive as a modern residential and business location and contribute to job security and local value creation.
Services
We put together packages
We create packages from freely available, tried-and-tested hardware and software components that are tailored to the individual needs of the building. Our range of services includes the following points:
Open Source
- We rely on open components and interfaces for full transparency and control. All components used are freely available on the market.
Our added value
- What we offer you is the design of the system, installation on site, operation of the system and analysis of the data with which economical energy-saving measures are implemented.
Permanent optimization
- As your partner, we work with you to permanently reduce the energy requirements of your properties and, ideally, turn them from consumers into producers.
Data sovereignty
- The collected data belongs to you and is available locally. It is only sent to our servers for evaluation and visualization. Everything is independent and in Germany.
Partner network
- With our partners, we enable the rapid installation of energy-saving measures or generators such as PV, through to energy-efficient refurbishment. Everything from a single source, from a single point of contact.
5 steps to an energy-efficient building with Cascada
- The Cascada Starter Set is installed in just a few hours and starts collecting consumption data for heat and electricity.
- The data is visualized and evaluated at a central location in an easy-to-understand way.
- With deeper insight, building automation can be carried out on existing systems such as ventilation.
- Design and installation of renewable systems such as PV, battery storage, heat pumps and optimized electricity tariffs.
- Thanks to a solid data basis, energy-efficient refurbishment can be implemented economically. In combination with installed generators, your building will go from being a consumer to a generator.
You can try out a demo of the Cascada system on our website or at demo.pebenergy.de.

Projects
Kindergarten Birkenfeld
Our customized energy management system has been installed and recorded in a kindergarten in Birkenfeld, near Pforzheim, since mid-2025:
- Electricity consumption at floor level
- Heat consumption (heat pump)
- Ventilation system
- Building automation of ventilation and heat pump
Birkenfeld Town Hall
Our customized energy management system has been installed and recorded at the town hall in Birkenfeld, near Pforzheim, since the end of 2025:
- Electricity consumption at floor level
- Heat consumption (gas)
- Large consumers such as ventilation systems and charging stations
This lays the foundation for making the building climate-neutral. Now, in the next step, renewable consumers can be designed and installed on a solid data basis.
