The EFA-EnergySaver by EFAFLEX

Making sustainability measurable and highlighting specific potential savings for customers: with this aim in mind, Jan Hauffe and Rebecca Hofstätter-Griss from the EFAFLEX sales team developed the digital tool EFA-EnergySaver

The EFA-EnergySaver enables architects, planners and businesses to calculate their potential energy, CO₂ and cost savings with just a few inputs. It compares a conventional industrial sectional door with an EFAFLEX high-speed door. Specific and reliable savings potential is determined on the basis of individual factors such as weather data, the number of daily door openings and current energy prices. The application is based on a study by the Technical University of Munich and was developed in collaboration with external partners eigenmind GmbH from Berlin and Etanomics Service GmbH from Neu-Isenburg

The web app, which has been available on the EFAFLEX website since 2023, is platform-independent, requires no installation and runs in a browser on all devices. It has been continuously developed since its launch. The third phase of development is currently in use, with further versions already in the pipeline. The aim is to provide customers with even more precise and meaningful data to support their investment decisions and help them analyse their operating costs. The key contacts and lead developers for the project are Jan Hauffe and Rebecca Hofstätter-Griss.

EFAFLEX has now been awarded the German Award for Sustainability Projects 2026 in the ‘Online Platform’ category for this innovative project.
