Sefaira provides cloud-based energy efficiency software for architects and other building designers to analyze and compare multiple building strategies. Its platform defines, quantifies, and optimizes the energy, water, carbon and financial benefits of relevant strategies. The company is London- and New York-based, was founded in 2009, and is led by CEO Mads Jensen. Sefaira currently serves more than 200 customers and recently named Philip Crawford as chairman of the board. The company raised $9.2m in financing and intends to use the funds for product development. Previously it closed a $10.8m Series A in October 2012. Sefaira provides cloud-based building physics analysis and design software that enables rapid whole-building optimization of energy, water, carbon and financial performance. Its proprietary whole-building analysis engine leverages cloud computing to perform sophisticated simulations in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional approaches. The product is delivered via an intuitive web interface aimed at architects, retrofit engineers, building owners and materials manufacturers for both new-build and retrofit projects. Sefaira helps users define, quantify and compare sustainable building strategies to improve capital and operating costs. Founded in 2009, the company operates offices in London and New York and has supported projects across the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The recent funding is intended to accelerate global expansion and broader adoption of its cloud-based, data-driven design tools.
