ZUG, Switzerland, Nov 18, 2025 – Siemens has acquired key technology from Australia-based Setmetrics to strengthen the Brightly Software portfolio. Setmetrics is a SaaS provider that helps customers in Australia and North America model building energy use, run scenario analyses and track results for commercial real estate, education, and healthcare sectors.
Brightly Software supports asset investment planning by combining operational, financial and sustainability data across the asset lifecycle. The Setmetrics technology strengthens Brightly’s energy-impact analysis. It adds planning tools that embed energy efficiency and simplify sustainability and lifecycle planning to help organizations maximize investments.
“This technology significantly elevates our digital twin capabilities, enabling us to model the impact of investments not just on facility condition, but also on critical energy performance,” said Don Kurelich, CEO at Brightly Software. “This integrated foresight is paramount for our clients, empowering them to achieve ambitious sustainability goals and drive unparalleled operational efficiency.”
With the scenario-modeling capability, Brightly can create energy-efficiency models for the built environment. It can also provide customers with a Facility Health Energy Index through its asset-investment planning tools within the lifecycle-management platform.
