Product description

The YORD Heating Optimization Platform leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to revolutionize building heating systems, ensuring energy efficiency and reducing peak consumption. By dynamically regulating heating flow and temperature curves based on real-time data and predictive adjustments, the platform optimizes comfort while significantly cutting heating energy use.

Installed as a plug-in module or integrated via cloud, the system collects data from indoor temperature sensors, heating units, and weather forecasts to create a thermal model of the building. Unlike traditional thermostatic control, YORD's AI adapts to occupant behavior, coordinates multiple heating zones, and learns over time to maximize efficiency.

Compatible with various heating systems including heat pumps, gas boilers, and district heating, the platform seamlessly integrates with building management systems (BMS) or operates independently. It offers facility managers dashboards and insights for monitoring and optimization, making it an essential tool for buildings aiming to meet ESG and energy-reduction targets.

Key characteristics and environmental benefits

  • Dynamic Regulation: AI-driven system adjusts heating flow and temperature curves in real-time for optimal efficiency.
  • Predictive Adjustments: Learns occupant behavior and makes proactive heating adjustments to prevent overheating.
  • Multiple Heating Zones: Coordinates heating across different zones within a building for maximum comfort and energy savings.
  • Compatibility: Works with various heating systems and integrates with building management systems for seamless operation.
  • Energy Reduction: Cuts heating energy use by up to 25%, significantly reducing peak consumption and operational costs.
  • Support and Insights: Provides facility managers with dashboards and insights for monitoring and optimizing heating systems.
  • Scalability: Cost-effective solution that can be easily scaled across building portfolios without major retrofitting.

About the Company

YORD SA is a Swiss climate-tech startup founded in 2021 and based in Fribourg. The company develops AI-powered heating optimization systems for buildings that significantly reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. Its core innovation lies in an intelligent self-learning algorithm that monitors, analyzes, and adapts heating system operation in real time based on building characteristics, usage patterns, and external conditions. The solution integrates with existing heating infrastructure (gas, heat pumps, district heating) and uses IoT sensors and a centralized platform to deliver continuous thermal comfort while minimizing energy waste. YORD’s technology has been deployed across residential, commercial, and public buildings, offering up to 25% energy savings with minimal installation. The company’s mission aligns with Switzerland’s energy transition and decarbonization goals. YORD collaborates with municipalities, housing cooperatives, utilities, and infrastructure providers to scale smart building operations. In 2024, YORD SA won the inaugural Fribourg Energy Prize in recognition of its impact on sustainable energy management.
