Trimble announced the acquisition of London/New York based Sefaira Ltd., a leading developer of cloud-based software for the design of sustainable and high-performance buildings. The acquisition of Sefaira expands Trimble's Design-Build-Operate (DBO) portfolio to include tools for designing high-performing buildings early in the conceptual phase of a project. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

However, the most impactful energy savings can only be achieved if buildings are designed for efficiency at the beginning of the design process. By providing sophisticated performance analysis via an intuitive user interface, Sefaira's solutions enable users to estimate, compare and optimize the energy, water, carbon and financial benefits of relevant design strategies. This allows users
