In modern cities there are enough thermal energy flows generated by human activity to provide the base for both heating and cooling of the entire city. By connecting buildings with different needs and balancing residual thermal energy flows between them, ectogrid™ effectively uses and reuses all available thermal energy and makes it possible to decrease both pollution and the energy consumption in a city. This is a revolution that will help us fight climate change and transform the energy market.
ectogrid™ offers the most energy efficient solution for cooling and heating on the market. By combining the best characteristics of local heat pumps and cooling machines with the benefits of energy distribution grids, ectogrid™ connects buildings with different energy requirements and balances the residual thermal energy flows. All available thermal energy is therefore effectively utilized, thus dramatically decreasing the energy input and as well as the carbon footprint.

Smart steering, using the latest technology within AI and IoT, is built into the system and is called ectocloud™. ectocloud™ adds flexibility to the demand side of the electric system, by using the thermal inertia of the buildings and grid as a battery. This has the potential to be more significant than conventional battery technology in the upscaling of local renewable energy production and e-mobility.
