Romande Energie<\/a>, a key player in Switzerland\u2019s energy transition, has announced a strategic investment in YORD<\/a>, a start-up specializing in the intelligent optimization of heating systems for buildings. The collaboration aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions from buildings, which account for 40% of Switzerland\u2019s greenhouse gas output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2021 by engineers from HEIA-FR<\/a> and based at Fribourg\u2019s bluefactory<\/a> innovation hub, YORD has developed a cutting-edge technology that analyzes a building\u2019s thermal behavior and occupants\u2019 habits. Its plug-and-play device connects to existing heating systems, regardless of their type or age, enabling up to 40% energy savings without requiring structural modifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YORD\u2019s solution goes beyond energy savings, offering services such as air quality monitoring and detailed annual reports, making it a comprehensive tool for building efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romande Energie, through its RE Ventures unit, invests in innovative technologies that support its customers\u2019 energy efficiency goals. This partnership complements the company\u2019s offerings, which include audits and phased renovation plans to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYORD\u2019s expertise in energy optimization aligns seamlessly with our vision of a positive, user-centered energy transition,\u201d said Thibaud Weick, Head of RE Ventures. \u201cThis collaboration strengthens our ability to provide cutting-edge energy solutions while reinforcing our leadership in the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accelerating Switzerland\u2019s energy transition<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For YORD, the partnership is a strategic opportunity to accelerate its growth. \u201cRomande Energie\u2019s cross-disciplinary expertise and commitment to the cleantech ecosystem make them the ideal partner to support our technical and commercial development,\u201d explained YORD CEO and Co-Founder S\u00e9bastien Bron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Switzerland continues its energy transition, partnerships like this highlight the importance of innovative, scalable solutions in achieving climate goals. YORD\u2019s technology, now backed by Romande Energie, represents a promising step toward reducing emissions while maintaining occupant comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
