Produal makes invisible changes measurable and visible for the building automation and HVAC industry. We want to give buildings the ability to sense. We invent devices to measure and manage the changing indoor circumstances of the buildings.

The demand to optimise building ecosystems and to minimise costs and environmental impact has guided us. Our experts develop solutions that measure, adjust, and communicate accurate data for the building automation and HVAC industry. Together, we make the invisible visible and extend buildings’ life cycles – doing our share of building a sustainable world.
