Sobre a Âmago

Our journey, since 2008

Discover the milestones that have shaped Âmago’s growth and the way we work today.

2008

Âmago is founded

Engineering, thermal and HVAC design and energy certification, from the outset for large non-residential buildings: hotels, shopping centres, hospitals and schools.

2012

GEMAX is born

Maintenance management was the poor relation of buildings. We created the simplest software to handle it, launched at the Pousadas de Portugal and now used in five countries.

2013

The first Energy Performance Contract

Clients doubted the savings promised by audits. Our answer: to be paid for the energy actually saved, a model almost unknown in Portugal. The first: Pestana Dom João II, in Alvor.

2016

Winners of the Innovation Support Fund competition

The only competition held in Portugal in this field. Since 2017, the performance contract at the Hotel Pestana Viking has delivered monthly savings of over 60%.

2019

The ESCO with the most hotel contracts

Building management systems and energy monitoring are brought in-house, and heat recovery for hotel hot water earns SIFIDE recognition for R&D.

2020

Research and development

Germfree UVC turns ultraviolet air disinfection into a sanitiser sold on the market. With the University of Algarve come predictive alarms powered by artificial intelligence, first presented at CLIMA 2022.

2022

Winners of Inova Algarve 2.0

The only company shortlisted in two categories. The Tourism and Renewable Energy award went to Hotel’s Free Heat: almost free hot water for hotels in summer, already up and running in several properties.

2023

Buildings as point clouds

With the 3D Services for Engineering project comes the Leica RTC360 scanner: plant rooms and industrial sites scanned to the millimetre, on the way to digital twins.

2024

OPTIMAX is born

Smart Rooms for Smart Hotels, at the invitation of Pestana Hotel Group under the PRR Innovation Agendas: a new climate controller for guest rooms and the cloud software that optimises the central systems.

Today

Our journey continues

Since 2008, we have brought engineering and technology together to improve the energy performance and maintenance of buildings. That commitment continues to guide our journey.
