Description

Resolia, a consulting firm specialised in energy planning, has become a driving force for district heating in Belgium, where less than 1% of heat is supplied by heat networks. Similar to many firms and utilities, Resolia’s process of conducting feasibility studies was a costly bottleneck : energy engineers would spend months manually collecting data on thousands of buildings using spreadsheets and static maps, often losing competitive public tenders due to the time-consuming process.
By adopting Urbio since 2023, Resolia was able to ditch the old planning playbook and go digital. They now instantly access nationwide building energy data, identify ideal building targets without the need for door-to-door prospection, and design viable network layouts in minutes with AI, catalysing over USD 105 million in total investment for low-carbon heating.

Impact & Result

Data accuracy up to 98% improves targeting and reduces misinvestment. Payback times shortened by 15-35% through optimised recommendations. Planning time cut by up to 95%, enabling teams to deliver more projects.

Solution Spotlight

Urbio is a SaaS platform that accelerates 10x the decarbonization of buildings with generative AI, enabling real estate professionals and utilities to make the best investments for individual buildings, entire portfolios, or large cities. Like Google Maps, but for energy, Urbio makes energy data available at the building scale and automates the design of energy assets like solar, heat pumps, or heat networks. Spinning off from Swiss climate-tech university EPFL, the founders have 2 PhDs and over 10 years of experience in the renewable energy industry. Backed by a team of data and energy experts and leading VCs, Urbio helps customers across Europe accelerate the energy transition.
