🌱 New Release: Custom Decarbonization Pathways for Electricity & District Heating

You can now define your own decarbonization pathways for electricity and district heating - per asset.


This allows you to:

⚡ Reflect local energy provider targets or PPAs

🔥 Adjust assumptions based on grid evolution in specific regions

📍 Apply different decarbonization curves to each asset, based on actual energy mix and contracts


No more one-size-fits-all assumptions. With custom energy carrier pathways, your CO₂ projections and strategy outcomes are now more accurate and locally aligned than ever before.

Smarter energy modeling. Better decarbonization planning. Now live.

New Release: Map Footprint Validation

We’ve made it easier than ever to manage buildings in our platform. This update introduces powerful new features that improve how you add, view, and interact with buildings on the map:


Whats new?

  • Add Buildings Without GPS Coordinates
    You no longer need to provide GPS data when adding a building. Our system automatically validates the building and supplies accurate coordinates for you.
  • All Buildings on One Map
    View every building in one unified map interface. Each building is clearly marked, making it easy to distinguish between them.
  • Dynamic Building Footprints
    For every building, footprints are dynamically requested from our API. The bounding shape is displayed directly on the map for clarity.
  • Adjustable Pin Positions
    Need to fine-tune a location? Simply drag the building pin to the correct spot. If moved to another building, the footprint is automatically recalculated to match the new location.
