About us

Optymass (formerly Quimera Energy) is a sustainability services company, aiming to reduce carbon emissions, optimise user comfort and simplifying operational processes.

On average, we reduce our customers' energy consumption and expenditure by 10%-15%.

We have developed a digital IoT platform, which monitors and optimises energy consumption and user comfort by applying intelligent algorithms, giving much greater control to the engineering team. Our platform can be connected to an existing BMS or operate as a stand-alone Energy Management System as an alternative to a BMS.

Our solutions allow the client to pay service fees from the savings achieved. We guarantee minimum savings, eliminating financial risk for our clients.
